- Management by Cisco UCS Manager
Reduces TCO by managing servers, networking, and storage from a single interface. - Unified fabric
Reduces TCO by reducing the number of network interface cards (NICs), host bus adapters (HBAs), switches, and cables that need to be managed, cooled, and powered. - Support for Cisco Fabric Interconnect
Allows the simplicity and consistency of a Cisco UCS managed solution to be economically achieved for single-chassis implementations. - Auto-discovery
Requires no configuration; like all Cisco UCS components, chassis are automatically recognized and configured by Cisco UCS Manager. - Redundant hot-swappable power supplies and fans
Provides high availability in multiple configurations, increases serviceability, provides uninterrupted service during maintenance. - Hot-pluggable blade servers and fabric extenders
Provides uninterrupted service during maintenance and server deployment. - Comprehensive monitoring
Provides extensive environmental monitoring on each chassis. Allows use of user thresholds to optimize environmental management of the chassis. - Efficient front-to-back airflow
Helps reduce power consumption and increase component reliability.
The Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis is a crucial building block delivering a scalable and flexible blade server chassis for today's and tomorrow's data center while helping reduce TCO. The Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis is six rack units high and can mount in a standard 19-inch rack. A chassis can accommodate both half-width and full-width blade form factors. Four hot-swappable power supplies are accessible from the front of the chassis.
