Features

The Cisco UCS C240 M3 Rack Server is a versatile and powerful solution, designed to handle diverse workloads, ranging from big data to collaboration and virtualization.

• 10-Gbps Unified Network Fabric:
  The server supports a unified fabric with 10-Gbps Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). This allows for a more streamlined, low-latency network infrastructure.

• Virtualization Optimization:
  Integrated Cisco Data Center VM-FEX and Adapter-FEX technologies enable better I/O virtualization, providing enhanced support for virtualized environments.

• Unified Management with Cisco UCS Manager:
  Cisco UCS Manager simplifies the management of servers by enabling unified control across all system resources. It allows for the easy creation and deployment of service profiles, which reduces the time and complexity associated with managing the hardware.

• Intel Xeon Processor E5-2600 Family:
  The server is powered by Intel Xeon processors, which offer advanced performance and energy efficiency. These processors support flexible virtualization technologies and provide scalability for both high-performance and virtualized workloads.

• High-Capacity, Flexible Internal Storage:
  The server is equipped with up to 24 hot-swappable drives, supporting various types of storage such as SAS, SATA, and SSDs. This flexible storage configuration ensures that the server can meet both performance and capacity needs for different workloads.

• RAID Support:
  The UCS C240 M3 includes multiple RAID options (RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60), allowing users to select the configuration that best fits their data protection and performance needs.

• Redundant Fans and Power Supplies:
  Dual-redundant fans and power supplies enhance reliability, ensuring continuous operation even in the event of a hardware failure.

• Tool-Free Access:
  The server is designed with tool-free access for serviceable components, making it easier to maintain and upgrade without requiring specialized tools.

Security

• Intel® Trusted Execution Technology (TXT):
  This technology ensures that the server’s platform and hypervisors boot into a cryptographically verified “known good state,” preventing unauthorized code from running during boot.

• Trusted Platform Module (TPM):
  The TPM module securely stores sensitive information like encryption keys and passwords, providing additional protection against unauthorized access.

• Virtualization Security:
  The server supports integrated security for virtualized environments, reducing the risk of breaches in multi-tenant systems.

• Integrated Cisco UCS Manager Security:
  Through Cisco UCS Manager, administrators can enforce consistent security policies, ensuring comprehensive control over system access and configurations.
