Cisco UCS X9508 Chassis Models:

Cisco UCS X9508 Chassis Specification:

Cisco UCS X9508 Chassis Features:

• 7-Rack-Unit (7RU) chassis has 8x front-facing flexible slots. These can house a combination of compute nodes and a pool of future I/O resources that may include GPU accelerators, disk storage, and nonvolatile memory.
• 2x Cisco UCS 9108 Intelligent Fabric Modules (IFMs) at the top of the chassis that connect the chassis to upstream Cisco UCS 6400 Series Fabric Interconnects. Each IFM features
• Up to 100 Gbps of unified fabric connectivity per compute node
• 8x 25-Gbps SFP28 uplink ports. The unified fabric carries management traffic to the Cisco Intersight cloud-operations platform, Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) traffic, and production Ethernet traffic to the fabric interconnects.
• At the bottom are slots ready to house future I/O modules that can flexibly connect the compute modules with I/O devices. We call this connectivity Cisco UCS X-Fabric technology because “X” is a variable that can evolve with new technology developments.
• Six 2800W Power Supply Units (PSUs) provide 54V power to the chassis with N, N+1, and N+N redundancy. A higher voltage allows efficient power delivery with less copper and reduced power loss.
• Efficient, 4x100mm, dual counter-rotating fans deliver industry-leading airflow and power efficiency. Optimized thermal algorithms enable different cooling modes to best support the network environment. Cooling is modular so that future enhancements can potentially handle open- or closed-loop liquid cooling to support even higher-power processors.

Cisco UCS X9508 Chassis Benefits:

• Simplify with cloud-operated infrastructure: We move management from the network into the cloud so that you can respond at the speed and scale of your business and manage all your infrastructures. You can shape Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System resources to workload requirements with the Cisco Intersight cloud-operations platform. You can integrate third-party devices including storage from NetApp, Pure Storage, and Hitachi. And you gain intelligent visualization, optimization, and orchestration for all your applications and infrastructure.
• Simplify with an adaptable system designed for modern applications: Today’s cloud-native, hybrid applications are inherently unpredictable. They get deployed and redeployed as part of an iterative DevOps practice. Requirements change often, and you need a system that doesn’t lock you into one set of resources when you find that you need another. For hybrid applications and a range of traditional data center applications, you can consolidate onto a single platform that combines the density and efficiency of blade servers with the expandability of rack servers. The result: better performance, automation, and efficiency.
• Simplify with a system engineered for the future: Embrace emerging technology and reduce risk with a modular system designed to support future generations of processors, storage, nonvolatile memory, accelerators, and interconnects. Gone is the need to purchase, configure, maintain, power, and cool discrete management modules and servers. Cloud-based management is kept up to date automatically with a constant stream of new capabilities delivered by the Intersight software-as-a-service model.
