OVERVIEW
Designed for demanding virtualization and database workloads, the UCS B420 M4 combines a large memory
footprint with four-socket scalability, leveraging the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-4600 v3 product family. The
UCS B420 M4 supports 2133 MHz DDR4 memory and utilizes UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) technology to
achieve up to 160 Gb aggregate I/O bandwidth, all in a dense, full-width blade form factor. The UCS B420
M4 maintains memory performance even as capacity grows, and the large power envelope of the UCS 5108
Blade Server Chassis means the UCS B420 can handle up to 3 TB of memory without compromise to CPU
speed or core count. Up to four UCS B420 M4 Blade Servers can be installed in the UCS 5108 Blade Server
Chassis.
The UCS B420 M4 Blade Server is centrally managed using Cisco UCS Manager. Cisco UCSM provides a single
management interface for all hardware and software components of a UCS domain. Cisco UCSM manages up
to 160 servers, using Single Connect Technology to consolidate network, storage, and management traffic.
With Cisco UCS Central, management can be extended globally to thousands of servers in multiple domains.
