Product Overview
The Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers are crucial building blocks of the Cisco Unified Computing System, delivering scalable and flexible computing for todays and tomorrows data center while helping reduce TCO. The Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers are based on industry-standard server technologies and provide:
Up to two Intel Intel Xeon Series 5500 multicore processors Two optional front-accessible, hot-swappable SAS hard drives Support for up to two dual-port mezzanine card connections for up to 40 Gbps of redundant I/O throughput
Industry-standard double-data-rate 3 (DDR3) memory Remote management through an integrated service processor that also executes policy established in Cisco UCS Manager software
Local keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) access through a front console port on each server
Out-of-band access by remote KVM, Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, and virtual media (vMedia) as well as Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
The Cisco UCS B-Series offers two blade server models: the Cisco UCS B200 M1 2-Socket Blade Server and the Cisco UCS B250 M1 2-Socket Extended Memory Blade Server (Figure 2). The Cisco UCS B200 M1 is a half-width blade with 12 DIMM slots for up to 96 GB of memory; it supports one mezzanine adapter. The Cisco UCS B250 M1 is a full-width blade with 48 DIMM slots for up to 384 GB of memory; it supports up to two mezzanine adapters.
