Cisco UCS C240 M6 Rack Server
In today's data-driven world, your infrastructure can't afford to be a bottleneck. The explosion of AI, big data analytics, and hybrid cloud applications demands a server that delivers not just power, but also intelligence, flexibility, and efficiency. The Cisco UCS C240 M6 Rack Server is engineered precisely for this challenge, providing an industry-leading foundation for your most critical and I/O-intensive workloads.
This 2-Rack-Unit (2RU) powerhouse combines the computational might of 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors with a massive memory footprint and next-generation PCIe 4.0 I/O. Whether deployed as a standalone server or integrated into a Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), the C240 M6 is designed to reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and dramatically increase business agility. It's not just a server; it's the engine for your digital transformation, ready to handle whatever you throw at it, today and tomorrow.
The Cisco UCS C240 M6 is built from the ground up to eliminate performance barriers. At its heart are one or two 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable CPUs, offering up to 40 cores per processor to accelerate even the most demanding applications. This immense processing power is complemented by an incredibly versatile memory architecture, featuring 32 DDR4 DIMM slots and support for Intel® Optane™ persistent memory, scaling up to an astonishing 12 TB of total memory for in-memory databases and large-scale analytics.
Expandability is a core design principle. With eight PCIe Gen 4.0 slots, the C240 M6 provides double the bandwidth of the previous generation, unlocking the full potential of high-speed networking cards, storage controllers, and up to five GPUs for AI/ML acceleration. Storage flexibility is paramount, with support for up to 28 hot-swappable SFF drives—including high-speed NVMe—or 16 LFF drives for capacity-focused deployments. Combined with the power of Cisco Intersight™ for cloud-based management, this server delivers a potent mix of raw power and operational simplicity.

Q: What makes the Cisco UCS C240 M6 different from previous generations?
A: The C240 M6 represents a significant leap forward, primarily through its support for 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, PCIe Gen 4.0 for double the I/O bandwidth, and an increased memory capacity with 32 DIMM slots. This makes it substantially more powerful for modern, data-intensive workloads like AI/ML and real-time analytics.
Q: Can this server support our GPU-intensive AI and VDI workloads?
A: Absolutely. The C240 M6 is an excellent platform for accelerated computing, with support for up to five GPUs. This makes it ideal for AI/ML model training, high-performance computing (HPC), and high-density Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) deployments. Contact us to discuss your specific GPU requirements.
Q: How does Cisco Intersight management benefit my IT team?
A: Cisco Intersight is a cloud-based systems management platform that radically simplifies IT operations. It allows your team to manage, monitor, and automate all your UCS servers—whether in the data center, at the edge, or in the cloud—from a single dashboard. This reduces manual effort, enhances visibility, and lowers operational costs. Our team at Nexus ITX can demonstrate how Intersight will transform your management workflow.
Q: We are based in the UAE. Can Nexus ITX help with deployment and local support?
