Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers are based on industry-standard server technologies. They provide:
- Architecture that reduces the number of in-chassis host bus adapters, network interface cards, and switches
- Technology that re-allocates the saved power to denser, more powerful blade servers
- Intel® Xeon® processors with leading performance, energy efficiency, and reliability
- Autodiscovery, with automatic recognition and configuration of blades by Cisco UCS Manager
- Remote management through an integrated service processor that also executes policy
- Embedded integration with Cisco UCS Manager for application deployment and server provision policies
- Keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) access either locally or remotely
- Out-of-band access by remote KVM, Secure Shell, Serial over LAN, and virtual media
