Genuine Cisco UCS C-Series Hardware
Cisco UCS Servers in India — Genuine, In-Stock Hardware
The Cisco UCS C220 M4 SFF rack server shown here is real, currently-stocked hardware — not a spec sheet with a request-a-quote button and nothing behind it. It's a compact 1U server built around Intel Xeon E5 v3/v4 processors, well suited to virtualization hosts, MikroTik CHR/RouterOS deployments, and general data-centre compute. Genuine Cisco UCS server hardware isn't something every reseller in India actually holds as live stock — we do, alongside real Intel Xeon processors and network adapters if you're building a specific configuration rather than buying the unit as-is. Whether you need it exactly as configured or want to adjust the processor, RAM, or network adapter to your workload, this is real inventory you can order today, not a manufacturer catalog listing.

Why Buy From Arnav Infosystem
This is genuine, in-stock Cisco UCS hardware, and the Intel Xeon processors and network adapters alongside it are real, currently-stocked components — not a spec sheet with nothing to back it. GST invoicing on every order, fast PAN-India delivery, and our team can help you size the exact processor, RAM, and network adapter configuration to your workload before you commit, rather than defaulting to the highest-spec option regardless of whether you actually need it. If you're deploying MikroTik CHR or RouterOS on this hardware specifically, tell us that upfront — the recommended processor and network adapter pairing for a routing workload looks different from a general virtualization host.
Choosing the Right Cisco UCS Configuration
A few things worth deciding before you order:
Size the processor to the workload
A high-core-count Xeon suits multi-tenant virtualization; a lower core-count option is often enough for a dedicated routing or single-application workload.
Plan memory around your hypervisor
Virtualization hosts typically need more DDR4 than a single-application server — decide how many VMs or containers you're running before finalizing RAM.
Check storage bay and RAID needs
The 8-bay SFF chassis supports RAID 0/1/5/10/50 via the onboard controller — decide your redundancy requirement before ordering drives.
Confirm network adapter throughput
Onboard 1GbE is often the bottleneck for network-heavy workloads — a 10G or 40G adapter is worth adding if that's your use case.
Match the configuration to your hypervisor
VMware, Proxmox, and Hyper-V all run well on this hardware, but sizing memory and storage differs by platform — see our dedicated VMware and Proxmox guides for platform-specific advice.
Decide balanced vs high-density vs network-gateway
A single high-core Xeon suits general virtualization; dual high-core-count processors suit dense multi-tenant hosting; a lower core-count option is plenty for a dedicated MikroTik CHR/RouterOS gateway — see the configuration table above.
Business Use Cases
The Cisco UCS C220 M4 shows up across a recognizable set of real deployments:
- ISPs & Network Operators: Rack-mount compute for MikroTik CHR/RouterOS, BGP routing, and core network aggregation.
- Virtualization Hosts: VMware, Proxmox, Hyper-V, or KVM deployments needing dedicated, rack-mount compute.
- Data Centres & Colocation: Standard 1U rack compute for hosted or colocated infrastructure.
- System Integrators: Building and reselling complete server configurations as part of a wider infrastructure project.
- Enterprises Consolidating Infrastructure: Replacing multiple ageing servers with fewer, higher-spec UCS units.
- Managed Service Providers: Standardizing client deployments on a single, well-understood UCS chassis.
Cisco UCS C220 M4 Configuration Options
Three common ways this chassis gets configured, depending on the workload:
| Configuration | Processor | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Balanced | 1x Intel Xeon E5-2697 v4 (18-core) | General virtualization hosting |
| High-Density | 2x Intel Xeon E5-2696 v4 (22-core each) | Multi-tenant virtualization, dense workloads |
| Network Gateway | 1x mid-range Xeon E5-2600 v4 | MikroTik CHR/RouterOS, routing workloads |
UCS C220 M4 Compatibility
| Component | Compatible Options | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Processor Socket | Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4, dual socket | Up to 22 cores per socket |
| Memory | DDR4 RDIMM/LRDIMM | 24 DIMM slots, up to 1.5TB |
| Network Adapters | PCIe 3.0 x8 | 10G/40G options available |
