As part of the Cisco UCS C-Series, this rack server combines exceptional processing power, flexible storage options, high memory capacity, and integrated management capabilities, making it an ideal platform for modern data centers and private cloud environments.
Supporting up to two Intel Xeon Scalable processors (1st and 2nd Generation), the Cisco UCSC-C220-M5SX delivers outstanding compute performance for demanding workloads. With support for up to 56 processor cores (configuration dependent), it efficiently handles virtualization, analytics, database processing, software-defined infrastructure, and high-performance enterprise applications.
The server features 24 DDR4 DIMM slots with support for up to 3 TB of ECC memory, providing the capacity and bandwidth required for memory-intensive applications. Combined with support for SAS, SATA, and NVMe storage, organizations can configure the system to balance performance, capacity, and cost according to workload requirements. The platform also supports up to 10 small form factor (SFF) drive bays, optional dual M.2 boot drives, and flexible RAID configurations for enhanced storage performance and data protection.
Designed for enterprise scalability, the Cisco UCS C220 M5 supports Cisco Virtual Interface Cards (VICs), optional PCIe 3.0 expansion, and select NVIDIA GPU configurations, enabling businesses to expand networking, storage, and application acceleration capabilities as infrastructure requirements grow.
Integrated Cisco Integrated Management Controller (Cisco IMC) and Cisco UCS Manager simplify server deployment, remote administration, monitoring, firmware updates, and lifecycle management through centralized control. The server also supports leading enterprise operating systems and virtualization platforms, including VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu Server, and KVM.
Engineered for continuous operation, the Cisco UCSC-C220-M5SX includes redundant hot-swappable power supplies, redundant cooling fans, ECC memory, and optional Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) support, helping maximize uptime, improve system reliability, and strengthen platform security in mission-critical environments.
Its compact 1U rack-mountable design maximizes compute density while reducing data center footprint, making it an excellent choice for organizations building scalable and energy-efficient infrastructure.
Ideal for server virtualization, enterprise databases, cloud infrastructure, private cloud deployments, software-defined data centers, business-critical applications, and high-performance computing, the Cisco UCSC-C220-M5SX UCS C220 M5 1U Rack Server delivers enterprise-class performance, scalability, security, and reliability for today's demanding IT environments.
