SERVER SOLUTIONS

Servers provide essential services across a network, either to private users inside a large organisation or to public users via the Internet. The term server is used quite broadly in information technology however they typically come in three flavors, tower, rack mount and blade servers. The type of server solution that an organisation invests in depends on several factors but is primarily based on the number, type and performance requirements of the applications a company needs to run its business.

CCS represents some of the world’s leading server manufactures including Cisco, Dell and HP. CCS also represents industry leading server and server virtualisation software providers including Microsoft, VMware and Citrix. CCS can deliver solutions for the most advances global enterprise networks as well as local small and medium sized businesses.

Cisco Unified Computing system

The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualisation into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable, multi-chassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.

B-Class UCS

The Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers are crucial building blocks of the Cisco Unified Computing System, delivering scalable and flexible computing for today's and tomorrow's data center while helping reduce TCO.

The Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers are based on industry-standard server technologies and provide:

Up to two Intel Intel Xeon Series 5500 multicore processors
Two optional front-accessible, hot-swappable SAS hard drives
Support for up to two dual-port mezzanine card connections for up to 40 Gbps of redundant I/O throughput
Industry-standard double-data-rate 3 (DDR3) memory
Remote management through an integrated service processor that also executes policy established in Cisco UCS Manager software
Local keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) access through a front console port on each server
Out-of-band access by remote KVM, Secure Shell (SSH) Protocol, and virtual media (vMedia) as well as Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)

The Cisco UCS B-Series offers two blade server models: the Cisco UCS B200 M1 2-Socket Blade Server and the Cisco UCS B250 M1 2-Socket Extended Memory Blade Server. The Cisco UCS B200 M1 is a half-width blade with 12 DIMM slots for up to 96 GB of memory; it supports one mezzanine adapter. The Cisco UCS B250 M1 is a full-width blade with 48 DIMM slots for up to 384 GB of memory; it supports up to two mezzanine adapters.

C-Class UCS

Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers extend Cisco Unified Computing System™ innovations to a rack-mount form factor, including a standards-based unified network fabric, Cisco VN-Link virtualization support, and Cisco Extended Memory Technology. Designed to operate both in standalone environments and as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, these servers enable organizations to deploy systems incrementally—using as many or as few servers as needed—on a schedule that best meets the organization’s timing and budget. Cisco UCS C-Series servers offer investment protection through the capability to deploy them either as standalone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified Computing System.
