The Cisco® Connected Safety and Security Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) platform series offers you performance and density for deploying and managing Cisco Video Surveillance Manager. Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS comprises a suite of two server models and a wide array of features in a single, easy-to-use, and easy-to-deploy configuration.
● The Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS C220 model (CSS UCS C220 M4) is an enterprise-class server in a one-rack unit (1 RU) form factor with Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 series processor family CPUs that deliver significant performance and efficiency. In addition, it supports up to four 3.5-inch drives for added density in a compact 1 RU package.
● The Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS C240 model (CSS UCS C240 M4) is an enterprise-class server in a 2RU form factor with dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 series processor family CPUs that deliver significant performance and efficiency. In addition, it supports up to twelve 3.5-inch drives for storage expandability and performance.
Figures 1 and 2 show the C220 model and C240 model, respectively. Tables 1 and 2 address the software application available on each server.
