Cisco spills beans on data center servers
Cisco Systems will offer its promised unified computing systems in two flavors -- with and without memory extension technology. The UCS B200 M1 Blade Server is a half-width system that supports up to 12 DIMMs and up to 96 GB of memory. One chassis can accommodate up to eight units of blades, according to SearchDataCenter.com. The B-250 M1 Extended Memory Blade Servers are full-width, two-socket systems that fit four to a chassis. It sports 48 DIMMs, but the memory extender technology enables the CPU to "see" four standard DDR3 DIMMs as just one, according to David Lawler of Cisco's Server Access Virtualization Group. This blade has up to 384 GB of memory.
