Description
The Cisco UCS C240 M8 SFF Rack Server is a high-performance, 2U enterprise server platform designed for flexible compute and storage configurations. This chassis-only configuration ships without CPUs, memory, or drives, allowing full customization for data center, virtualization, database, and cloud workloads.
Equipped with a Small Form Factor (SFF) drive backplane, the C240 M8 supports high-density SAS, SATA, and NVMe storage options while delivering exceptional I/O bandwidth through PCIe Gen 5 expansion. Built for scalability and reliability, it is ideal for organizations standardizing on Cisco UCS infrastructure and modern Intel Xeon processor platforms.
This server can be deployed as a standalone system or integrated into Cisco Intersight-managed environments for simplified lifecycle management and operational efficiency.
