Engineered for the Modern Data Center

The Cisco UCS C245 M6 is more than just a powerful server; it's a versatile building block for your hybrid cloud strategy. Its design philosophy centers on adaptability, allowing you to tailor performance, storage, and connectivity to your specific application requirements. With its high-density storage options—supporting up to 24 SFF drives with flexible SAS/SATA/NVMe configurations—you can easily scale from capacity-focused workloads to I/O-intensive databases without compromise.

Integration is seamless. Deploy it as a standalone server managed by Cisco Intersight™ for cloud-based simplicity, or incorporate it into a Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) for a fully unified infrastructure. This cohesive management approach simplifies operations, reduces TCO, and provides end-to-end visibility, empowering your IT team to focus on strategic initiatives instead of routine maintenance.

Key Features & Capabilities:

  • AMD EPYC™ Processor Power: Harness the exceptional core density and performance of one or two AMD Milan or Rome CPUs to crush demanding enterprise workloads.
  • Massive Memory Footprint: With 32 DIMM slots supporting up to 8TB of high-speed 3200-MHz DDR4 memory, it's ideal for in-memory databases and large-scale virtualization.
  • High-Density, Flexible Storage: Accommodates up to 24 front SFF drives (SAS/SATA/NVMe) plus optional rear NVMe drives for an optimal blend of capacity and speed.
  • Versatile I/O Expansion: Features up to eight PCIe 4.0 slots, providing ample bandwidth for high-speed networking, graphics accelerators, or storage controllers.
  • Modular High-Speed Networking: A dedicated mLOM/OCP 3.0 slot enables flexible network configurations, including support for up to 100-GE Cisco Virtual Interface Cards (VICs).
  • Unified Systems Management: Streamline operations with Cisco Intersight for cloud-based management or integrate into a Cisco UCS domain for policy-driven automation.
  • Boot-Optimized Storage: A dedicated internal module for two SATA M.2 SSDs provides a reliable, redundant, and high-performance boot drive solution, freeing up valuable front drive bays.

Available Base Models:

  • UCSC-C245-M6SX6: A configurable base chassis for the Cisco UCS C245 M6 server, ready for custom CPU, memory, and storage selection to meet specific performance targets.
  • UCSC-C245-M6SX1: A base model of the Cisco UCS C245 M6 SFF server, providing a flexible foundation for building out a high-performance solution for enterprise applications.

Use Cases of Cisco UCS C245 M6 SFF Rack Server

  • Virtualization and Cloud Computing: The high core count from dual AMD CPUs and massive 8TB memory capacity make it an exceptional platform for hosting a high density of virtual machines or building out private/hybrid cloud infrastructure.
  • Large Databases and Analytics: Power through complex queries and process vast datasets with lightning speed by combining the server's large memory footprint with low-latency NVMe storage options.
  • Data-Intensive Applications: Ideal for workloads like big data, AI/ML, and content delivery that require a finely tuned balance of CPU performance, memory bandwidth, and fast storage I/O.
  • High-Performance Computing (HPC): Build powerful compute clusters for scientific research, financial modeling, and engineering simulations, leveraging the server's immense processing power and I/O expandability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)‍ about Cisco UCS C245 M6 SFF Rack Server

Q: What makes the Cisco UCS C245 M6 a good choice for data-intensive applications?

A: The C245 M6 excels with data-intensive workloads due to its powerful combination of dual AMD EPYC processors, a massive 8TB memory capacity, and flexible, high-speed storage options, including support for multiple NVMe drives. This architecture minimizes I/O bottlenecks and allows for rapid data processing. To determine the ideal configuration for your specific application, we recommend a brief consultation with our Cisco specialists.


Q: Can this server be managed without a full Cisco UCS environment?

A: Absolutely. The Cisco UCS C245 M6 can be deployed as a standalone rack server and managed through the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) for local control, or preferably, with Cisco Intersight. Intersight is a powerful cloud-based management platform that simplifies monitoring, firmware updates, and administration for one or thousands of servers, regardless of their location. Contact us to learn how Intersight can transform your IT operations.


Q: How does the server's modular mLOM/OCP 3.0 slot benefit my network design?

A: The mLOM/OCP 3.0 slot provides exceptional networking flexibility. It allows you to choose from a wide range of network interface cards, including Cisco's high-performance Virtual Interface Cards (VICs) that offer up to 100-GE connectivity. This modularity means you can adapt the server's network capabilities as your needs evolve, without having to replace the entire system. Let our team help you select the perfect VIC for your network architecture.


Q: What kind of workloads are best suited for the AMD EPYC processors in this server?

A: The high core counts and impressive performance of AMD EPYC CPUs make them ideal for highly parallelized workloads. This includes large-scale virtualization (high VM density), VDI, big data analytics, high-performance computing (HPC), and any application that can take advantage of many processing cores. We can help you analyze your workload to see if the C245 M6 is the right fit.
