Cisco Compute Hyperconverged C225 M8 All NVMe Nodes
In today's complex IT landscape, you need more than just powerful hardware. You need an intelligent, unified platform that simplifies operations, accelerates applications, and scales with your business. Introducing the Cisco Compute Hyperconverged C225 M8 All-NVMe Node—the result of a powerful partnership between Cisco and Nutanix, engineered to eliminate complexity and supercharge your hybrid multicloud journey.
This isn't just another server. It's a complete, holistically managed hyperconverged solution that combines Cisco's best-in-class compute and networking with the industry-leading Nutanix Cloud Platform. Built on the latest 5th Gen AMD EPYC processors and an all-NVMe storage architecture, the C225 M8 delivers the raw performance to handle your most demanding, mission-critical workloads, from VDI and enterprise applications to edge computing and AI.
At the core of the Cisco C225 M8 is a foundation built for speed and density. Housed in a compact 1RU form factor, each node is powered by a single 5th Gen AMD EPYC processor, delivering a staggering core count of up to 160 cores per socket. This immense processing power, combined with support for up to 3 TB of high-speed DDR5 memory, ensures that your applications run without bottlenecks, even under the heaviest loads.
Performance extends to storage with an all-NVMe architecture supporting up to ten U.2/U.3 drives, providing the ultra-low latency essential for data-intensive workloads. But raw power is only half the story. The true value lies in its intelligent management. Through deep integration with the Nutanix Cloud Platform and flexible management via Cisco Intersight, you gain a unified, software-defined experience that simplifies infrastructure lifecycle management from the data center core to the edge.
