Description
The Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server is well-suited for a wide range of storage and I/O-intensive applications such as big data analytics, databases, collaboration, virtualization, consolidation, and high-performance computing in its two-socket, 2RU form factor.
The Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server extends the capabilities of the Cisco UCS rack server portfolio. It incorporates the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors with 50 percent more cores per socket advanced features like Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX), Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA), In-Memory Analytics Accelerator (IAA), and QuickAssist Technology (QAT), many applications will see significant performance improvements.
You can deploy the Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers as standalone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System™ managed by Cisco Intersight™ or Cisco UCS Manager1 to take advantage of Cisco® standards-based unified computing innovations that can help reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase your business agility.
The Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server brings many new innovations to the UCS rack server portfolio. With the introduction of PCIe Gen 5.0 expansion slots for high-speed I/O, a DDR5 memory bus, and expanded storage capabilities, the server delivers significant performance and efficiency gains that will improve your application performance. Its features including the following:
● Supports up to two 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable CPU, with up to 60 cores per socket

◦ OCP 3.0 slot features full out-of-band management for select adapters
High performance for data-intensive applications
The Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Server is well suited for a wide range of enterprise workloads, including:
● Big data and analytics
● Collaboration
● Small and medium-sized business databases
● Virtualization and consolidation
● Storage servers
● High-performance appliances
Cisco UCS C240 M7 Rack Servers can be deployed as standalone servers, part of a Cisco UCS–managed environment, or through Cisco Intersight. When used in combination with Cisco Intersight, the C240 M7 brings the power and automation of unified computing to enterprise applications, including Cisco SingleConnect technology, drastically reducing switching and cabling requirements.
Cisco Intersight leverages the familiar capabilities of UCS Manager with 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 1.13.0 (2021.1 schema0)
● Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) v2.0
