The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Versatility and performance for data-intensive applications
The Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server is well-suited for a wide range of storage and I/O-intensive applications such as big-data analytics, databases, collaboration, virtualization, consolidation, and high-performance computing in its two-socket, 2RU form factor.
The Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server extends the capabilities of the Cisco UCS rack server portfolio. It incorporates 5th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable Processors with 62 percent more cores per socket than the previous generation. Many applications will see significant performance and efficiency improvements with accelerators such as Intel Data Streaming Accelerator, Intel QuickAssist Technology, Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX) and In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (IAA) built into the CPUs.
You can deploy the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers as standalone servers or with Cisco Intersight to take advantage of Cisco standards-based unified computing innovations that can help reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase your business agility.
