Cisco UCS C Series rack servers can be used as full-fledged stand-alone machines or integrated into Cisco UCS (Unified Computing System). If the first option is selected, the servers will be controlled using the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) built into the server.
The C-Series model range is characterized by high bandwidth, a large maximum supported amount of RAM, as well as a sufficient amount of disk space inside to store various information.
Cisco UCS C-series servers also allow you to adjust the power of the power supply, which makes it possible to save a lot on energy costs, as well as set traffic priority rules.
