Cisco X440p Barebone System - Blade

The Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System simplifies your data center, adapting to the unpredictable needs of modern applications while also providing for traditional scale-out and enterprise workloads. It reduces the number of server types to maintain, helping to improve operational efficiency and agility as it helps reduce complexity. Powered by the Cisco Intersight™ cloud operations platform, it shifts your thinking from administrative details to business outcomes with hybrid cloud infrastructure that is assembled from the cloud, shaped to your workloads, and continuously optimized.

The Cisco UCS X440p Gen4 PCIe Node is a new node type that is now supported in the UCS X9508 chassis. This can be attached to UCS X210c and X410c compute node in the UCS X9508 chassis to provide GPU accelerators support using the UCS 9416 X-Fabric modules for UCS X9508 chassis.

The Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node is the first PCIe resource node to integrate into the Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System. Up to four PCIe Nodes can reside in the 7-Rack-Unit (7RU) Cisco UCS X9508 Chassis and can be paired with one compute node each, offering up to four GPUs to a Cisco UCS X210c and X410c Compute Node with Cisco UCS X-Fabric Technology.

The UCS X-Fabric Technology solution is a combination of two products: the Cisco UCS X9416 X-Fabric Module which provides a PCIe Gen 4 fabric and the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node which hosts the GPUs.

The Cisco UCS X9508 Chassis has eight node slots, up to four of which can be X440p PCIe Nodes when paired with a Cisco UCS X210c and X410c Compute Node. This provides up to 16 GPUs per chassis to accelerate your applications. If your application needs even more GPU acceleration, up to two additional GPUs can be added on each compute node using optional GPU front mezz on X210c and X410c compute node
