Cisco UCS C3160 Rack Server
OVERVIEW
The Cisco UCS C3160 is a modular, dense storage rack server, optimized for large datasets used in environments such as cloud, object storage and content delivery. The UCS C3160 chassis is a modular architecture consisting of the following modules: 1.Base Chassis: contains four power supplies and a rail kit. 2. Server Node: two CPUs, 128/256/512 GB of DIMM memory, and choice of a pass-through RAID card or a RAID card with a 1 GB or 4 GB cache. 3. System I/O Controller (SIOC): one or two System I/O Controllers each with an adapter card slot. 4. Optional Drive Expansion Node: comes with four 4 TB, 6 TB, 8 TB, or 10 TB drives for a total capacity of 16, 24, 32, or 40 TB. 5. Solid-state Boot Drive: 1 or 2 SATA SSD boot drives The enterprise-class UCS C3160 server extends the capabilities of Cisco’s Unified Computing System portfolio in a 4U form factor that delivers the best combination of performance, flexibility, and efficiency gains.
