The Cisco UCS E-Series NCEs are computing modules that are both price and power optimized. The zero-footprint form factor of the NCEs make them excellent for hosting Cisco network applications and other lightweight applications in your branch offices.
Reduced operational burden
Through a consolidated, wire-free infrastructure, Cisco UCS E-Series Servers and NCEs make the addition of new services and infrastructure quick and easy.
Simplified system maintenance
Cisco UCS E-Series Servers ease physical server provisioning and system maintenance.
Enhanced server management
Built-in lights-out server management through the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) runs on the same dedicated baseboard management controller hardware found in all Cisco UCS products. This feature provides standalone management consistency with Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers for both local and remote server monitoring and configuration management.
Stronger physical security
The blades require no external network cables or physical keyboard, video, or mouse (KVM). They can therefore be easily secured in a wiring closet or other secure location without compromising manageability - which is difficult to do with traditional tower and rack-mount servers.
Small footprint
Cisco UCS E-Series Servers include multicore x86 64-bit Intel Xeon processors. You can reduce your branch-office server footprint by incorporating high-performance, power-optimized blade servers directly into Cisco ISR G2 and 4000 Series branch-office routers. All are integrated and housed in a single Cisco ISR chassis, delivering an excellent all-in-one platform for the lean branch office.
