- Substantially increases memory footprint, increasing performance and capacity for demanding virtualization and large-data-set standalone workloads
 - Reduces number of servers and decreases licensing costs with higher virtual-to-physical consolidation ratios
 - Low-latency, lossless, 10-Gbps Ethernet and industry-standard Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) fabric options available
 - With a wire-once deployment model, changing I/O configurations no longer means installing adapters and recalling racks and switches
 - Fewer interface cards, cables, and upstream network ports to purchase, power, configure, and maintain
 - Extends the network directly to virtual machines
 - Consistent and scalable operating model
 - Increased security and efficiency with reduced complexity
 - Flexibility, increased performance, and compatibility with industry standards
 - PCIe 3.0 slots, which are estimated to substantially increase the bandwidth over the previous generation of PCIe and offer more flexibility while maintaining compatibility with PCIe 2.0
 - Intelligent performance that automatically adapts to the diverse needs of a virtualized environment as well as the most computation-demanding standalone applications
 - Web user interface for server management, administration, and virtual media
 - IPMI2.0 support for OOB management through third-party enterprise management systems
 - Command-line interface (CLI) for server management
 - Outstanding network I/O performance and increased network efficiency and flexibility
 - Increased network availability when configured in failover configurations
 
The Cisco UCS C460 M4 Rack Server provides the performance and reliability to run mission-critical applications and virtualized workloads.
The Cisco UCS C460 M4 Rack Server offers industry-leading performance and advanced reliability well suited for the most demanding enterprise and mission-critical workloads, large-scale virtualization, and database applications. Whether the Cisco UCS C460 M4 is used as a standalone system or in a Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) deployment, customers gain the benefits of the server's high-capacity memory.
The Cisco UCS C460 M4 expands the scope of virtualization to a wider range of demanding data center workloads and adds scale-up capability to meet the needs of computation-intensive, standalone applications. It increases customer choice by providing unique benefits in a rack server, bringing differentiation and value to what has traditionally been a market with products not optimized to meet the needs of virtualized data centers.
