Cisco

One of the things I’ve been improving my knowledge of the different vendors offerings. With this in mind, I’ve been reading more about Cisco’s rack mount servers, their USC C-Series. It’s always interesting to examine the differences between the different vendors products and see how they might compare in their own way. I’ve put the link I used to read more about them on the Cisco site.

• UCS C200 M1 – 1u, 96GB RAM, 4x SAS/SATA drives and 2xPCIe slots
• UCS C210 M1 – 2u, 96GB RAM, 16 Small Form Factor SAS/SATA drives and 5 PCIe slots
• UCS C250 M1 – 2u, 384GB RAM, 8 Small Form Factor SAS/SATA drives and 5 PCIe slots

I note reading their documentation (briefly) that there is an onboard UCS Integrated Management Controller, offering a Command-Line interface, a Web interface (this can be great for remote systems management/rebuilds) with virtual media, as well as a Serial Management Port. The servers are designed to work with your existing infrastructure, but are also ready for a Unified Computing deployment, very cool.

I’m off to read up more about them, in the meantime, this url was very good and had some great information about each of the servers and the management features.
