About the Cisco UCS-B460-M4 Cisco UCS B-Series blade server

The Cisco UCS-B460-M4 is a half-width blade server that combines dual integrated nodes into a single chassis slot, delivering exceptional compute density for mission-critical enterprise workloads. This innovative architecture houses two Cisco UCS B260 M4 half-width nodes connected via high-speed inter-node fabric, supporting up to 4 Intel Xeon E7-4800 v3 and E7-8800 v3 processors across both nodes. With 96 DIMM slots distributed across the blade, the UCS-B460-M4 accommodates up to 6 TB of DDR4 RDIMM and LRDIMM memory running at speeds up to 1866 MHz, enabling memory-intensive applications to scale without sacrificing performance. Storage flexibility includes up to 2 x 2.5-inch SAS/SATA drives per node, while unified fabric connectivity delivers 40 Gb per node to the UCS Fabric Interconnect via Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Cards, including support for the Cisco UCS VIC 1340 and compatible mezzanine adapters. The blade integrates comprehensive reliability features—Intel Run Sure Technology, Machine Check Architecture recovery, and patrol scrub capabilities—ensuring uptime in demanding production environments.

IT procurement teams and infrastructure architects standardizing on Cisco UCS environments choose the UCS-B460-M4 for its ability to consolidate high-core-count compute into minimal physical space while maintaining service profile-based stateless computing through Cisco UCS Manager. The blade operates within the Cisco UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis and supports VMware vSphere, Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and Oracle VM, making it suitable for virtualization, database, and analytics workloads across mixed-OS environments. Compliance with ASHRAE A2 thermal standards and RoHS directives ensures seamless integration into modern data center infrastructure, while Smart Play power capping optimizes operational efficiency.
