The Cisco UCS C240 M6 2U SFF 12-Core Rack Server is a server intended to deliver great performance and scalability in enterprise-level applications and data center environments. This adaptable rack server is designed to handle a variety of workloads, including intense virtualized environments, mission-critical databases, and commercial applications. The Cisco UCS C240 M6 is powered by two Intel Xeon Scalable 4310 processors, each having a 2.1GHz base clock speed that can be increased to 3.6GHz, giving it a total of 24 cores and 36 threads for effective parallel processing. These processors include an 18MB L3 cache per processor and a thermal design power (TDP) of 120W, guaranteeing high performance for demanding computing activities and applications. The UCS C240 M6 server has 64GB of DDR4 RAM, which is made up of two 32GB RDIMM DRx4 3200 MHz memory modules. This high-capacity memory configuration enables rapid and efficient data access, making it excellent for operating complicated virtual machines, maintaining huge databases, and supporting high-traffic web applications. DDR4 3200 MHz memory provides high bandwidth and low latency, resulting in excellent server performance. The Cisco UCS C240 M6 comes equipped with three 2.4TB 12G SAS 10K RPM SFF HDDs, totaling 7.2TB of raw storage capacity. These HDDs run at 10,000 RPM, providing rapid read and write rates for high-performance data processing. The 12G SAS interface provides high-speed data transfer rates and durability, and the 4K sector size improves storage economy and performance for enterprise applications. The server has a Cisco 12G SAS RAID Controller with 4GB of Flash-backed Write Cache (FBWC), which can support up to 16 disks for a variety of RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50. The RAID controller has extensive capabilities for data redundancy, fault tolerance, and performance optimization, assuring vital data protection and server uptime. The Cisco UCS C240 M6 is designed for flexible deployment and is available in a 2U rack-mountable form factor, making it perfect for data centers and IT environments with limited space but high performance requirements. The 2U chassis enables a wide range of configurations and choices for growing storage, memory, and connection to meet changing business demands. The server's backplane supports hot-swappable drives, allowing for quick replacement of storage components with no downtime. The server's architecture also incorporates integrated management tools including Cisco Intersight for cloud-based monitoring and management, and Cisco UCS Manager for centralized server administration and automation.
