Cisco UCS M8 Solutions with AMD EPYC: Redefining Data Center Performance
The era of digital abundance, driven by AI and next-generation workloads, demands infrastructure that is not only robust but also future-ready.
Cisco's UCS M8 portfolio, powered by AMD EPYC processors, are engineered to meet these evolving requirements, delivering operational capacity, efficiency, and scalability for modern data centers.
Architectural Innovations
UCS X215c Compute Node
Cisco introduces the industry-first X215c compute node, designed for high performance in a compact form factor. This node supports mix-and-match, multi-vendor configurations and multi-generational processor choices, enabling organizations to tailor their compute resources to specific workload needs.
M8 Rack and Blade Servers
The latest M8 rack and blade servers in the Cisco UCS family leverage AMD EPYC processors to deliver the computational power required for data center modernization. These servers are engineered to be future-proof, supporting both 4th and 5th generation AMD processors, ensuring compatibility with expanding application workloads.
Performance and Efficiency
The UCS AMD M8 rack server line offers a broad spectrum of storage, memory and I/O capabilities. Notably, these servers have achieved 20 world performance records, underscoring their ability to deliver exceptional throughput and responsiveness for demanding enterprise applications.
Efficiency is a core design principle: the M8 servers operate with reduced cooling and power consumption, helping organizations lower their operational costs while maintaining high performance.
Unified Management with Cisco Intersight
