Cisco UCS X-Series with Intel Flex Data Center GPUs and VDI White Paper

January 31, 2024

In this white paper, Cisco introduces methods for integrating the Cisco UCS® X-Series Modular System with Intel® Flex GPU 140 and 170 GPU cards with VMware vSphere for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) that is ready for the future.

The Cisco UCS X-Series is designed with modularity and workload flexibility. It allows you to manage the different lifecycles of CPU and GPU components easily and independently. The Cisco UCS X210c M7 Compute Node with Intel Xeon CPUs provides a highly capable platform for enterprise end-user computing deployments, and the Cisco UCS X440p PCIe Node allows you to add up to four GPUs to a Cisco UCS X210c Compute Node with Cisco UCS X-Fabric technology. This Cisco architecture simplifies the addition, removal, and upgrading of GPUs to computing nodes, and in conjunction with the Intel Flex Data Center graphics cards, allows end-users to benefit more readily from GPU-accelerated VDI.
