With powerful data center&minusclass servers that are virtualization-ready you can host business applications and network services right in your branch-office router.

Product Overview

Cisco UCS^® E-Series Servers bring data center-class blade servers to the branch office. These powerful small form-factor x86 64-bit blade servers reside in Cisco^® branch-office routers: the Cisco 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers and Cisco Integrated Services Routers Generation 2 (ISR G2) networking platforms. The blades are virtualization ready and host essential infrastructure services and mission-critical business applications - all while you maintain a lean branch-office environment (Figure 1).

Product Details

Cisco UCS E-Series Network Compute Engines

The Cisco UCS E-Series NCEs are computing modules that are both price and power optimized. They come in three form factors: a single-wide Service Module (SM) a double-wide enhanced high-speed WAN interface card (EHWIC) for the ISR G2 platform and a Network Interface Module (NIM) form factor for the 4000 Series ISR platform.

●     The service module fits into the ISR G2 and 4000 Series ISR networking platforms. It delivers a high-performance power-efficient Intel Pentium processor B925C (4-MB cache and 2.00 GHz) product family with two cores in combination with integrated remote lights-out management.

●     The double-wide EHWIC fits in the ISR G2 networking platform only. It runs the Intel Atom processor C2358 (1-MB cache and 1.70 GHz) and is available in multiple versions with a variety of DRAM and hard-disk capacities.

●     The NIM fits in the 4000 Series ISR only. It runs the Intel Atom processor C2518 (1-MB cache and 1.70 GHz) and is available in multiple versions with a variety of DRAM and hard-disk capacities.

The zero-footprint form factor of the NCEs make them excellent for hosting Cisco network applications and other lightweight applications in your branch offices.
