Features and benefits
The C245 M6 SFF server has:
● Up to 24 front SFF SAS/SATA HDDs or SSDs (optionally up to four of the drives can be NVMe)
● An I/O-centric option that provides up to eight PCIe slots using three rear risers, or
● A storage-centric option that provides three rear risers with a total of up to four NVMe SFF drives and three PCIe slots
The server provides internal slots for:
● One Cisco 12G SAS RAID controller with a 4-GB cache backup to control SAS/SATA drives, or
● Up to two Cisco 12G SAS HBAs to control SAS/SATA drives
Note: NVMe drives are controlled directly from the CPUs.
The C245 M6 server has a single 1-GE management port. A modular, LAN-on-Motherboard slot can extended to an OCP 3.0 slot and provides up to two 100-GE ports. A connector on the front of the chassis provides KVM functionality.
The Cisco UCS C245 M6 Rack Server can be used standalone, or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, which unifies computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage access into a single integrated architecture, enabling end-to-end server visibility, management, and control in both bare-metal and virtualized environments.
