Cisco UCS 9508 Chassis - Modular Expansion Base - 7U - DISTI - UCSX-9508-CH

• Simplify with cloud-operated infrastructure
  You can shape Cisco UCS X-Series modular system resources to workload requirements with the Cisco Intersight cloud-operations platform. You can integrate third-party devices including storage from NetApp, Pure Storage, and Hitachi. And you gain intelligent visualization, optimization, and orchestration for all of your applications and infrastructure.
• Simplify with an adaptable system designed for modern applications
  Today's cloud-native, hybrid applications are inherently unpredictable. They get deployed and redeployed as part of an iterative DevOps practice. Requirements change often, and you need a system that doesn't lock you into one set of resources when you find that you need another. For hybrid applications, and a range of traditional data center applications, you can consolidate onto a single platform that combines the density and efficiency of blade servers with the expandability of rack servers. The result: better performance, automation, and efficiency.
• Simplify with a system engineered for the future
  Embrace emerging technology and reduce risk with a modular system designed to support future generations of processors, storage, nonvolatile memory, accelerators, and interconnects. Gone is the need to purchase, configure, maintain, power, and cool discrete management modules and servers. Cloud-based management is kept up to date automatically with a constant stream of new capabilities delivered by the Intersight software-as-a-service model.
• Support a broader range of workloads
  A single server type supporting a broader range of workloads means fewer different products to support, reduced training costs, and increased flexibility.

The Cisco UCS X-Series modular system begins with the Cisco UCS X9508 chassis engineered to be adaptable and future ready. It is a standard, open system designed to deploy and automate faster in concert with a hybrid cloud environment.
With a midplane-free design, I/O connectivity for the X9508 chassis is accomplished with frontloading, vertically oriented compute nodes intersecting with horizontally oriented I/O connectivity modules in the rear of the chassis.
