Cisco UCS E-Series Servers

Product Overview

™
®
Cisco UCS E-Series Servers, part of the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS), are next-generation
®
power-optimized general-purpose x86 64-bit blade servers designed to be deployed in Cisco Integrated Services
Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2; Figure 1).
These price-to-performance optimized single-socket blade servers balance simplicity, performance, reliability, and
power efficiency and are well suited for applications and infrastructure services typically deployed in small offices
and branch offices. By using the Cisco ISR G2 as the blade server chassis, customers can now deploy a single
converged networking and computing platform designed specifically for remote-office and branch-office
infrastructure consolidation.

Cisco UCS E-Series Servers deliver next-generation Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 and E3-1100 product family
technology in combination with integrated remote lights-out management in a blade server form factor. These
powerful processors deliver multiple cores and threads in a reduced-power envelope, providing improved
performance and better energy efficiency than preceding models, making them an excellent platform for
introducing virtualization into the branch office. The innovative, zero footprint form factor of the Cisco UCS E-
® ®
Series Servers in conjunction with the Intel Xeon processor E5-2400 and E3-1100 product families offer
significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO), increased business agility, and greater reliability when compared
to standalone rack-mount and tower servers.
