UCSB-B200-M3-D Cisco UCS B200 M3 w/ Dual 8C 2.7GHz E5-2680 CPU, Dual 300GB HDD, 512GB RAM
UCSB-B200-M3-D - Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server with Dual 8-Core 2.7GHz CPUs, Dual 300GB HDD, 512GB RAM
High-Performance 2-Socket Blade Server for Cisco UCS with Enhanced Compute and Storage
Note - This is a custom configuration with dual 8C 2.7GHz E5-2680 CPU, Dual 300GB HDD, and 512GB RAM.
The Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server (UCSB-B200-M3-D) is a high-performance, preconfigured enterprise blade server designed to deliver exceptional compute density, memory capacity, and I/O flexibility for modern data center workloads. Built on the trusted Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) architecture, this half-width blade is ideal for virtualization, databases, VDI, and cloud-scale applications.
This configuration is powered by dual Intel Xeon E5-2680 processors, delivering 16 total cores at 2.7 GHz, and is equipped with a massive 512 GB of DDR3 ECC memory, making it well-suited for memory-intensive workloads and large virtual machine consolidation. With support for up to 768 GB of RAM, the UCS B200 M3 provides room for future scalability as workload demands grow.
Storage is handled by two 300 GB 10K RPM SAS hard drives, offering reliable performance for enterprise applications, while dual mezzanine slots enable flexible connectivity options including 10GbE, Fibre Channel, and FCoE via Cisco VIC adapters. Integrated seamlessly into the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis, the server benefits from centralized power, cooling, and fabric connectivity, reducing cabling complexity and operational overhead.
Managed through Cisco UCS Manager, the B200 M3 enables policy-based provisioning, centralized firmware management, and simplified lifecycle operations - making it a strong choice for organizations seeking high performance, scalability, and operational efficiency in a compact blade form factor.
