L’annonce est quasiment passée inaperçue, Cisco va continuer dans la construction de serveur mais cette fois en s’attaquant au marché des serveurs rack.
Ces serveurs de 1 ou 2 U, ressemblant à des Xservers d’Apple pourraient supportés jusqu’à 384 Go de mémoire.
Cisco UCS C 200 M1 -Effectively this is a clone of the B-200 M1 blade in the B series UCS chassis with the addition of two PCIe slots and two more SFF SAS/SATA drives..
The C 200 M1 is a 1 rack unit form factor server (pizza box). It supports a dual port 10 gigabit converged network adapter. two Xeon 5500 series processors, four small form factor SAS drives, 12 dimms for a total of 96 Gigabytes of memory.
Cisco UCS C 210 M1 -
The C 210 is a 2 rack unit form factor server, with the same CPU and memory architecture as the C 200. What has been added is 3 additional PCIe slots (for a total of 5). There is also support for up to 16 SFF SAS/SATA drives.
Cisco UCS C 250 M1 -
Effectively this is a clone of the B-250 M1 blade in the B series UCS chassis with the addition of five PCIe slots and eight SFF SAS/SATA drives.
The C 250 M1 is a 2 rack unit form factor server. It supports a dual port 10 gigabit converged network adapters. two Xeon 5500 series processors, eight small form factor SAS/SATA drives, and 48 dimms for a total of 384 Gigabytes of memory.
This server utilizes the same catalina chipset for memory expansion that it’s cousing the B-250 M1 utilizes.
Ces serveurs racks ne devraient pas être disponible avant le premier trimestre 2010
