Engineered for the Modern Data Center

At the heart of the Cisco UCS C240 M6 is a no-compromise architecture built on 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. With support for up to 40 cores per socket and 32 DDR4 DIMM slots, this server delivers the raw computational power and massive memory footprint required for in-memory databases, large-scale virtualization, and complex analytics. This immense processing capability is matched by a state-of-the-art I/O subsystem featuring PCIe Gen 4.0, which doubles the bandwidth of the previous generation, eliminating bottlenecks and accelerating your applications.

Versatility is a core design principle. The server's flexible storage options can accommodate up to 28 hot-swappable drives, including high-speed NVMe, giving you the freedom to create tailored configurations for storage-intensive applications or high-performance tiers. From its dedicated RAID controller slot to the modular LAN-on-motherboard (mLOM) that preserves valuable PCIe slots, every element of the C240 M6 is optimized for performance, expandability, and operational simplicity.

Key Features & Capabilities:

  • Dominant Dual-Socket Performance: Harness the power of one or two 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable CPUs, providing up to 80 cores per server for massively parallel workloads.
  • Expansive Memory Capacity: Features 32 DDR4 DIMM slots supporting up to 12 TB of total memory with Intel® Optane™ persistent memory, ideal for large datasets and virtualization.
  • Next-Generation I/O: Leverage up to 8 PCIe 4.0 slots for double the bandwidth, plus a dedicated mLOM slot for high-speed networking up to 100 Gbps without sacrificing an expansion slot.
  • Unmatched Storage Flexibility: Configure with up to 28 SFF SAS/SATA/NVMe drives, providing the perfect balance of capacity and speed for any application.
  • GPU Acceleration: Supports up to five GPUs, making it an ideal platform for accelerating AI/ML, VDI, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.
  • Unified, Simplified Management: Deploy as a standalone server managed by Cisco IMC or integrate into a Cisco UCS environment managed via Cisco Intersight for powerful cloud-based operations.
  • Reliable Boot Solution: Includes dual M.2 boot drives with optional hardware RAID, protecting your operating system and freeing up main drive bays for data.

Available Models & Configurations:

  • UCSC-C240-M6SX: A high-performance model designed for compute-intensive workloads and enterprise applications.
  • UCSC-C240-M6SN: A versatile configuration optimized for high-capacity NVMe storage and data-intensive tasks.
  • UCSC-C240-M6S: A balanced base model ideal for general-purpose virtualization and business applications.
  • UCSC-C240-M6N: An entry-point configuration focused on storage density and scale-out architectures.
  • UCSC-C240-M6L: A large form factor (LFF) model designed for maximum storage capacity with 3.5-inch drives.

Use Cases of Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server

  • Big Data & Analytics: Process massive datasets with ease, leveraging the high core counts, extensive memory capacity, and fast NVMe storage options to gain insights faster.
  • Virtualization & Consolidation: Achieve exceptional virtual machine density and performance, reducing server sprawl and simplifying data center management while lowering TCO.
  • High-Performance Storage Server: Build a dense, high-capacity storage solution with up to 28 drives, perfect for scale-out storage, data-intensive applications, and content delivery.
  • Enterprise Databases: Power mission-critical SQL and NoSQL databases that demand high transaction rates, low latency, and massive memory, supported by Intel Optane persistent memory.
  • AI/ML & HPC: Accelerate complex computational tasks and training models by equipping the server with up to five high-performance GPUs, transforming it into a powerful computing appliance.
