Overview

The Cisco UCS C200 Server, which is a part of the Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount server family, is designed to operate in a wide range of data center environments, including those environments that use the Cisco Unified Computing System, Cisco Nexus family products, and discrete Ethernet and Fibre Channel switches from Cisco and third parties.
