Cisco UCS C240 M3 Server

The Cisco UCS C240 M3 is a high-density, 2U rack server designed to handle a wide range of storage-intensive infrastructure workloads. Building on the success of its predecessors, the C240 M3 offers a superior combination of performance and internal storage capacity, supporting up to 24 hard drives and dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 processors.
