Cisco UCSC-GPU-M60 | Tesla M60 Graphics Card, Dual GPU, 16GB GDDR5, PCIe 3.0

Q: What is the primary use case for the UCSC-GPU-M60?
A: The UCSC-GPU-M60 is designed for VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) deployments, virtualized workstations, and graphics virtualization. It works with NVIDIA GRID software to deliver professional graphics applications to remote users, supporting up to 32 concurrent virtual desktop sessions per card.

Q: Which Cisco UCS servers are compatible with this GPU?
A: The UCSC-GPU-M60 is compatible with Cisco UCS C240 M4 rack servers in both large form factor and small form factor disk drive configurations. The server must provide adequate airflow as this is a passive-cooled card requiring proper system cooling.

Q: Does this GPU require active cooling or special airflow?
A: The UCSC-GPU-M60 uses passive cooling and requires adequate system airflow to operate within thermal limits. It must be installed in servers with proper front-to-rear or rear-to-front airflow design and sufficient chassis cooling capacity for a 300W TDP component.

Q: What type of workloads is the Tesla M60 optimized for?
A: The Tesla M60 is optimized for graphics virtualization, VDI workloads, professional visualization applications, CAD/CAM, 3D modeling, video encoding, and GPU-accelerated compute tasks. It excels in multi-user virtual desktop environments where graphics performance is critical.

Q: What is NVIDIA GRID and how does it work with this GPU?
A: NVIDIA GRID is virtualization software that allows the Tesla M60 to be shared among multiple virtual machines, with each VM receiving dedicated GPU resources. This enables enterprises to deliver GPU-accelerated graphics to virtual desktops and applications, allowing users to run professional graphics software remotely.
