The Cisco UCS C250 family of servers is made up of the UCS C250 M1 and UCS C250 M2, both two-socket, 2RU rack-mount servers. Both the C250 M1 and C250 M2 can lower the cost of smaller memory footprints, and can enhance performance for large dataset workloads such as database management systems and modeling and simulation applications.


Optional dual-redundant power supplies and front panel-accessible hot-swap cooling fans increase reliability, availability and serviceability of the Cisco UCS C250 M1. Both the Cisco C250 M1 and Cisco C250 M2 feature a front- and back-panel interface with video, USB and serial port connections.

Using Intel 5600 series multicore processors, the Cisco C250 M2 expands on the performance and efficiency of the Cisco C250 M1.
