Product Details
The enterprise-class Cisco UCS® B480 M5 Blade Server delivers market-leading performance versatility and density without compromise for memory-intensive mission-critical enterprise applications and virtualized workloads among others.
With the B480 M5 you can quickly deploy stateless physical and virtual workloads with the programmability that Cisco UCS Manager and Cisco® SingleConnect technology enable. Customers gain support for Intel® Xeon® scalable processors higher density 256G DDR4 DIMMs new second-generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors and the new Intel® Optane DC Persistent Memory. Additionally these B480 M5 servers offer up to 12 terabytes (TB) of DDR4 memory or 18 TB using 24x256G DDR4 DIMMs and 24x512G Intel® Optane DC Persistent Memory four SAS SATA and NVMe drives M.2 storage up to four GPUs and 160 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity for I/O throughput all leading to exceptional performance flexibility and I/O throughput to run your most demanding applications.
The B480 M5 is a full-width blade server supported by the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis. The 5108 chassis and the Cisco B-Series Blade Servers provide inherent architectural advantages:
- Through Cisco UCS gives you the architectural advantage of not having to power cool manage and purchase excess switches (management storage and networking) Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) and Network Interface Cards (NICS) in each blade chassis
- Reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) by removing management modules from the chassis making the chassis stateless
- Provides a single highly available Cisco Unified Computing System&trade (Cisco UCS) management domain for all system chassis and rack servers reducing administrative tasks
The Cisco UCS B480 M5 Blade Server delivers flexibility density and expandability in a 4-socket full-width form factor for enterprise and mission-critical applications. It offers:
- Four new second-generation Intel® Xeon® scalable CPUs (up to 28 cores per socket)
- Four existing Intel® Xeon® Scalable CPUs (up to 28 cores per socket)
- Support for higher density DDR4 memory from 6 TB (128G DDR4 DIMMs) to 12 TB (256G DDR4 DIMMs)
- Memory speeds increase from 2666 MHz to 2933 MHz
- Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Modules (DCPMM) &ndash 128G 256G and 512G1
- Up to 18 TB using 24x256G DDR4 DIMMs and 24x512G Intel® Optane DC Persistent Memory Modules
- Cisco FlexStorage storage subsystem
- Five mezzanine adapters and support for up to four NVIDIA GPUs
- Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 1340 modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) and upcoming fourth-generation VIC mLOM
- Internal Secure Digital (SD) and M.2 boot options
1 Requires a DDR4 DIMM for deployment (e.g. 12 Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Modules require 12 DDR4 DIMMs). The sizes of DCPMM must be the same and the DDR4 DIMMS must the same. But between the DCPMM and DIMMs the sizes may vary as shown in the 18-TB configuration described earlier in this data sheet.
