Superior performance in a slim form factor
The Cisco UCS C225 M6 Rack Server is the most versatile general-purpose infrastructure and application server in the industry. This high-density, 1RU, 2-socket rack server delivers industry-leading performance and efficiency for a wide range of workloads, including virtualization, EDA, SDS, big data, and edge-centric workloads. You can deploy the Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers as standalone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System with the Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service cloud-based management platform.
The Cisco UCS C225 M6 Rack Server uses 3rd Gen AMD EPYC CPUs for the most cores per socket. Combined with PCIe 4.0 for I/O and 3200 MHz DDR4 memory, you have significant performance and efficiency gains that will improve your application performance.
The C225 M6 rack server is single-socket optimized. All I/O is tied to one CPU and its 128 PCIe lanes. Since each server supports up to 2 TB and 64 cores per socket, many customers find that one CPU server now meets their needs. This can reduce software licensing and support costs, leading to a better TCO.
● Single-socket optimized, dual-socket capable
● Highest core density in a 1RU server, with up to 128 cores for the most demanding applications
● Fast I/O speeds, with PCIe 4.0
● Reduced management complexity with Cisco Intersight Infrastructure Service
The Cisco UCS C225 M6 Rack Server is designed to deliver exceptional performance, expandability, and efficiency. It offers the following:
● One or two 3rd Gen AMD EPYC CPUs, with up to 64 cores per socket. Based on AMD Infinity Architecture, these processors deliver a full feature set across the entire CPU stack. You choose the core count and frequency; the memory capabilities, advanced security features, and I/O capacity are all included at no additional cost.
● For per-core, license-constrained applications, high-frequency AMD EPYC processors (EPYC 7xF3) give you the exceptional per-core performance so you can get the most value from software licensing costs.
● For high-performance computing, AMD EPYC 7003 Series Processors with AMD 3D V-Cache technology deliver up to 768 MB L3 cache per processor. AMD 3D V-Cache is built on AMD’s groundbreaking 3D Chiplet architecture and using 7-nm process technology.
● Up to 128 PCIe 4.0 lanes of I/O connectivity for fast data access regardless of whether one or two processors are used.
● Memory:
◦ 32 DIMM slots (16 DIMMs per CPU socket), 3200 MHZ DDR4
◦ Up to 4 TB of capacity
● Up to 10 Small-Form-Factor (SFF) front-loading hot-pluggable drives – NVMe/SAS/SATA
● Up to three PCIe 4.0 slots
● Support for Cisco UCS VIC 1400 Series and OCP 3.0 network cards
● RAID controller and GPU options are available.
● Internal dual M.2 drive options
