The Cisco UCS® C220 M7 Rack Server delivers record-breaking performance for space-
constrained environments.

Product overview

The Cisco UCS C220 M7 Rack Server is a versatile general-purpose infrastructure and application server. This
high-density, 1RU, 2-socket rack server delivers industry-leading performance and efficiency for a wide range
of workloads, including virtualization, collaboration, and bare-metal applications.

The Cisco UCS C220 M7 Rack Server extends the capabilities of the Cisco UCS rack server portfolio. It
incorporates the 4th Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors with 50 percent more cores per socket, advanced
features such as Intel Advanced Matrix Extensions (AMX), Data Streaming Accelerator (DSA), In-Memory
Analytics Accelerator (IAA), and QuickAssist Technology (QAT). Many applications will see significant
performance improvements.

You can deploy the Cisco UCS C-Series rack servers as standalone servers or as part of the Cisco Unified
Computing System™ managed by Cisco Intersight™ or Cisco UCS Manager1 to take advantage of Cisco®
standards-based unified computing innovations that can help reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and
increase your business agility.

The C220 M7 rack server brings many new innovations to the UCS rack server portfolio. With the introduction of
PCIe Gen 5.0 for high-speed I/O, a DDR5 memory bus, and expanded storage capabilities, the server delivers
significant performance and efficiency gains that will improve your application performance.

 ● Up to three GPUs supported1
● Hybrid modular LOM/OCP 3.0

◦ One dedicated Gen 4.0 x16 slot that can be used to add an mLOM or OCP 3.0 card for additional
rear-panel connectivity.

◦ mLOM allows for Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Cards (VICs) without consuming a PCIe slot, supporting
quad port 10/25/50 Gbps or dual port 40/100/200 Gbps network connectivity.

◦ OCP 3.0 slot features full out-of-band management for select adapters.

Powering next-generation applications

The Cisco UCS C220 M7 Rack Server is well suited for a wide range of workloads, including:

● IT and web infrastructure

● High-performance virtual desktops
● Medium-sized and distributed databases
● Middleware
● Collaboration
● Public cloud

Cisco UCS C220 M7 Rack Servers can be deployed as standalone servers, part of a Cisco UCS‒managed
environment or through Cisco Intersight. When used in combination with Cisco Intersight, the C220 M7 brings
the power and automation of unified computing to enterprise applications, including Cisco SingleConnect
technology, drastically reducing switching and cabling requirements.

Cisco Intersight leverages the familiar capabilities of UCS Manager with service profiles, templates, and policy-
based management to enable rapid deployment and help ensure deployment consistency. If also enables end-
to-end server visibility, management, and control in both virtualized and bare-metal environments.
