Over time, Cisco and Intel have labored collectively to ship breakthrough improvements that empower fashionable enterprises. Right this moment, we’re introducing the subsequent section in information middle modernization: the eighth era Cisco UCS C-Sequence and Cisco UCS X-Sequence servers powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors.
At Cisco, we’re devoted to offering scalable, safe, and high-performance infrastructure for companies. With this announcement, we’re excited to supply our prospects with enhanced compute efficiency, AI acceleration, and effectivity for demanding workloads, resembling AI-driven analytics and hybrid cloud purposes. Along with Intel, we’re serving to enterprises run mission-critical workloads—higher, sooner, and smarter.
Delivering larger alternative, flexibility, and efficiency
For purchasers in search of larger alternative and adaptability to fulfill their numerous computing wants, Cisco’s next-generation lineup of UCS C-Sequence and X-Sequence servers (Determine 1) now helps Enterprise and Information Middle Stable State Drives (SSD) Type Issue (EDSFF) E3.S Non-Risky Reminiscence categorical (NVMe) SSDs, which supply larger efficiency, improved thermal administration, and elevated storage density. We additionally proceed to assist conventional Small Type Issue (SFF) drives versatile sufficient to deal with a large number of native storage wants, in addition to bigger type issue drives for high-capacity and cheaper price/GB storage.
Intel Xeon 6 processors complement these new servers by delivering distinctive efficiency, providing as much as 86 cores per socket with excessive Layer 3 cache capability and low latency entry, supporting as much as eight reminiscence channels for optimum efficiency. Additionally they present excellent reminiscence bandwidth and efficiency by leveraging the quickest Double Information Charge 5 (DDR5) reminiscence obtainable, together with DDR5-6400 and Multiplexed Rank DIMMs (MRDIMMs).
Each UCS sequence platforms (Determine 2), which embody the UCS C220 M8 Rack Server, UCS C240 M8 Rack Server, and UCS X210c M8 Compute Node, proceed to function modular tri-mode RAID controllers appropriate with SAS/SATA HDDs/SSDs and U.3 NVMe SSDs to extend pace and effectivity, together with fault tolerance, in addition to larger density assist in information facilities and enterprise environments.
UCS X-Sequence presents non-obligatory Peripheral Element Interconnect Specific (PCIe) node connectivity for added GPU assist. This provisioning flexibility permits enterprises to simply scale as much as enhance the consumer expertise and software efficiency. The X210c M8 Compute Node might be paired with the UCS X440p PCIe Node to assist as much as 4 GPUs.
As well as, UCS C-Sequence now options hot-swappable M.2 SATA SSDs, offering improved serviceability and adaptability for boot drives and storage enlargement in enterprise environments.

and AI acceleration.
Simplifying and automating IT operations
Administration utilizing Cisco Intersight is a key differentiator for the UCS platform. It helps IT operations groups see, management, and automate their Cisco UCS converged and hyperconverged infrastructure all through its lifecycle from one place. It consolidates and automates infrastructure lifecycle administration from the info middle to the sting in a single resolution delivered as a service.
It is a highly effective operations platform that’s superb for IT groups dealing with growing calls for for compute assets, staffing shortages, and growing safety threats. With the ability to successfully and easily assist conventional and new AI workloads on-premises and in edge areas is of paramount significance—and Intersight makes it potential.
Sustainable, safe, high-performance information facilities
Information facilities are on the core of a tremendous digital transformation. However this transformation isn’t with out challenges—from rising calls for for computing energy, safety, and power. IT groups can’t stand nonetheless. And with our new UCS C-Sequence and X-Sequence, powered by Intel Xeon 6 processors, they don’t need to. They will scale back their energy consumption, decrease their complete price of possession, and scale operations effectively—all with out sacrificing the excessive efficiency they want. Right this moment’s announcement is greater than a next-generation computing platform—it’s a strategic funding in a sustainable and high-performance future.
Congratulations to our valued companions at Intel for his or her launch. That is yet one more instance of how our two corporations proceed to drive innovation and ship worth for patrons.
