Cisco UCS B420 M3 Blade Servers
The Cisco® Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) combines Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and C-Series Rack Servers
with networking and storage access in a single converged system that simplifies management and delivers greater cost efficiency
and agility with increased visibility and control. One of the latest additions to the Cisco UCS portfolio is the Cisco UCS B420 M3
Blade Server. Designed for enterprise performance and scalability, the Cisco UCS B420 M3 Blade Server combines the advantages
of 4-socket computing with the cost-effective Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 product family, for demanding virtualization and
database workloads. With its industry-leading compute density, I/O bandwidth, and memory footprint, the Cisco UCS B420 M3
is a balanced high-performance platform that complements the Cisco UCS 4-socket blade server portfolio. The Cisco UCS B420
M3 is a full-width blade (Figure 1). Up to four of these high-density, 4-socket blade servers can reside in the six-rack-unit (6RU)
Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis. In addition, the Cisco UCS B420 M3 is part of the Cisco Unified Computing System,
which combines blade and rack servers with networking and storage access in a single unified system. Centrally configured through
unified, model-based management, Cisco UCS simplifies and accelerates deployment of enterprise-class applications running in
bare-metal, virtualized, and cloud-computing environments. The Cisco UCS B420 M3 Blade Server provides: Up to four Intel®
Xeon® processor E5-4600 processor family CPUs with a maximum of 32 cores per server; Forty-eight DIMM slots for registered
error-correcting code (ECC) DIMMs, with up to 1.5 TB of memory capacity (using 32-GB LRDIMMs) Three mezzanine connectors
enable up to 160 Gbps bandwidth; One dedicated connector for Cisco VIC 1240 mLOM ; Two connectors for Cisco VIC 1280, VIC
port expander, or third-party network adapter cards; Four hot-pluggable drive bays supporting SAS, SATA, and SSD drives;
RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10, with optional 1-GB flash memory-backed write cache.
The Cisco UCS B420 M3 Blade Server continues Cisco's commitment to delivering uniquely differentiated value, fabric integration,
and ease of management that is exceptional in the marketplace for enterprise-class applications, including virtual server workloads,
virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), database, enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM)
implementations, and large memory and consolidation workloads.
