Cisco UCS X410c M8 Compute Node

The Cisco UCS X410c M8 Compute Node is a four-socket blade-form compute engine designed for the Cisco UCS X9508 Modular Chassis, representing the eighth generation of Cisco's unified computing architecture. Built around fourth-generation Intel Xeon 6 processors, the X410c M8 delivers a substantial leap in core density, memory bandwidth, and I/O throughput compared to its predecessors. Each node supports up to four Xeon 6 processors with high core counts per socket, enabling enterprises to consolidate workloads that previously demanded multiple discrete rack servers, dramatically reducing data-center footprint and operational overhead. The platform leverages the Cisco Intersight management fabric for policy-based infrastructure automation, providing consistent lifecycle management across hybrid cloud environments.

Memory architecture is a defining characteristic of the X410c M8, supporting DDR5 DIMMs across a large number of slots per socket, yielding multi-terabyte total system memory capacity that is purpose-built for in-memory databases such as SAP HANA, Oracle In-Memory, and Redis Enterprise. The node integrates with the UCS X-Series modular fabric through Cisco's X-Fabric interconnect, enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency east-west communication between compute nodes without external cabling. Flexible I/O is provided through the Cisco UCS X-Series mezzanine and module slots, supporting high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and NVMe-oF connectivity adapters to match diverse storage and network topology requirements.

The X410c M8 is managed entirely through Cisco Intersight as a cloud-connected or on-premises SaaS management platform, enabling IT teams to define server profiles, firmware baselines, and compliance policies as code. This model-driven management eliminates per-server manual configuration and supports rapid, repeatable deployment at scale. Security features include hardware root of trust, secure boot, runtime firmware integrity verification, and integration with Cisco's Trusted Platform technologies, meeting stringent compliance requirements for financial services, healthcare, and government verticals. The node is engineered for maximum availability with redundant power paths, hot-swap capability within the chassis, and proactive hardware telemetry delivered through Intersight's AIOps capabilities.

Ideal for

• Large-scale SAP HANA scale-up deployments requiring multi-terabyte shared memory across four processor sockets in a single compute node
• Oracle Database In-Memory and Oracle Exadata-compatible workloads benefiting from extreme per-node memory capacity and high core counts
• High-density server virtualization and private cloud consolidation replacing dozens of dual-socket servers with a small number of four-socket blades
• Real-time analytics and operational intelligence platforms such as Apache Spark in-memory processing that demand maximum RAM bandwidth and core parallelism
• Enterprise AI inferencing workloads where large language model weights and embedding indexes must reside entirely in DRAM for low-latency response
• Mission-critical ERP and CRM database tiers for financial services, healthcare, and government where workload isolation, high availability, and hardware-level security attestation are mandatory
