Storage and I/O Optimized for Industry-Leading Performance
The Cisco UCS C480 M5 is a storage and I/O-optimized enterprise-class rack server that delivers industry-leading performance for:
● In-memory databases
● Big data analytics
● Virtualization and VDI workloads
● Bare-metal applications
C480 M5 servers can be deployed as standalone servers or in a Cisco UCS managed environment. When used in combination with Cisco UCS Manager the C480 M5 brings the power and automation of unified computing to enterprise applications including Cisco® SingleConnect technology drastically reducing switching and cabling requirements.
Cisco UCS Manager uses service profiles templates and policy-based management to enable rapid deployment and help ensure deployment consistency. It also enables end-to-end server visibility management and control in both virtualized and bare-metal environments.
The Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) delivers comprehensive out-of-band server management with support for many industry standards including:
● Redfish Version 1.01 (v1.01)
● Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) v2.0
● Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) v2 and v3
● Syslog
● Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)
● HTML5 GUI
● HTML5 virtual Keyboard Video and Mouse (vKVM)
● Command-Line Interface (CLI)
● XML API
Management Software Development Kits (SDKs) and DevOps integrations exist for Python Microsoft PowerShell Ansible Puppet Chef and more. For more information about integrations see Cisco DevNet.
The C480 M5 is Cisco Intersight&trade ready. Cisco Intersight is a new cloud-based management platform that uses analytics to deliver proactive automation and support. By combining intelligence with automated actions you can reduce costs dramatically and resolve issues more quickly.
