Description

The Cisco UCS S3260 is a modular, high-density, storage-optimised 4RU server built for service providers and enterprises running big data, data protection, software-defined storage, scale-out unstructured data, media streaming and content distribution workloads.

This SKU is configured with 28 x 20TB 7.2K RPM HDDs for 560TB of raw capacity. The chassis supports up to two server nodes, with M5 nodes based on dual 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and up to 48 cores per node. Memory scales to 1.5 TB DDR4 per M5 node, with an Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory-ready slot. Storage is managed through a dual-chip RAID controller based on the LSI 3316 ROC with 4GB cache per chip, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, 60 and JBOD, or a pass-through HBA option. Four hot-pluggable 1050W 80 PLUS Platinum power supplies run in a 3+1 redundant configuration.

System I/O is provided by the onboard Cisco UCS VIC 1300 platform with 2 x 40G QSFP ports, or PCIe-based VIC 1455 and VIC 1495 adapters. An optional I/O expansion module adds dual x8 PCIe slots for third-party cards, including NVIDIA T4 16GB GPU support. Operating system support covers Windows Server 2019, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux and VMware vSphere.
