UCS blade servers are the workhorses of modern data centers. The hardware platform makes it easy to handle scalable workloads.
Two server options are available to customers: half-width and full-width, UCS B200 M5 and B480 M5, respectively.
The servers are installed in a common 6U UCS 5108 chassis. This provides decent performance and compute density required to support multi-tiered and distributed applications.
