Features and Benefits

The Cisco UCS B440 M2 blade server is designed to power the most demanding enterprise applications such as

large-data-set and transaction-intensive databases, enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications, and

decision-support systems (DSSs). Powered by the scalable performance and new reliability and security features

of Intel

Xeon

virtualization and unifies performance-intensive standalone applications within an integrated, simplified

infrastructure. Advanced silicon-level reliability and security features automatically manage hardware errors and

protect from malicious software attacks, maintaining data integrity and increasing the availability of enterprise-

critical services. The Cisco UCS B440 M2 balances up to 40 processing cores and 1 TB of main memory with

combined I/O throughput of up to 160 Gbps. These performance capabilities combined with comprehensive silicon

and system-level reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features place this server in the mission-critical

class of systems.

Cisco's innovative service profile technology embedded in Cisco UCS Manager provisions Cisco UCS B-Series

Blade Servers and their I/O properties (for more information, please see

Infrastructure policies needed to provision servers and deploy applications, such as policies for power and cooling,

security, identity, hardware health, and Ethernet and storage networking, are encapsulated in the service profiles.

Use of service profiles helps reduce the number of manual steps needed for provisioning, the opportunities for

human error, and server and network deployment times. In addition, service profiles improve policy consistency

and coherency across the entire Cisco Unified Computing System.

Every Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Server uses converged network adapters (CNAs) for access to the unified fabric.

This design reduces the number of adapters, cables, and access-layer switches while still allowing traditional LAN

and SAN connectivity. This Cisco innovation reduces capital expenditures (CapEx) and operating expenses

(OpEx), including administrative overhead and power and cooling costs. Among the I/O options, and unique to the

Cisco Unified Computing System, the Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 1280 delivers up to 256 dynamic

virtual adapters and interfaces, all tightly integrated with Cisco UCS Manager and VMware vCenter Server.

Incorporating Cisco VM-FEX technology, this advanced fabric interface unifies virtual and physical networking into

a single infrastructure. It provides virtual-machine visibility from the physical network and a consistent network

operations model for physical and virtual servers. Two of these high-performance adapters can be employed to

make use of the significant processing capacity of the Intel

UCS B440 M2.
