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.
The Cisco UCS C200 server is a high-density, two-socket, 1RU rack-mount server designed to balance
simplicity, performance, and density. Powered with two quad-core Intel Xeon 5500 series processors,
the server supports production-level network infrastructures, web services, virtualization, data centers,
and small-office and remote-office applications.
This server can be ordered with different front panel configurations, depending on whether the hard
drives are the 3.5-inch large form factor or the 2.5-inch small form factor:
