The Cisco UCS C225 M8 Server is a high-density, 1RU, single-socket rack server designed for versatile infrastructure and application deployment. This server can operate as a standalone unit or as part of the Cisco Unified ComputingSystem (UCS), which integrates computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage into a cohesive architecture. The UCS architecture facilitates end-to-end visibility, and control across both bare-metal and virtualized environments.
