Overview
The UCS C880A M8 is Cisco’s rack server built around an NVIDIA HGX B300 board: eight Blackwell Ultra GPUs in SXM form, joined by NVLink, with two Intel Xeon 6 processors as hosts. It is air-cooled, and the east-west network comes from ConnectX-8 adapters integrated on the GPU board rather than from add-in cards. Cisco positions it for training, fine-tuning and real-time inference of large models. This is a new system, and Cisco’s data sheet lists it as a set of complete configurations, each under its own part number, rather than a chassis built up option by option. We supply it through Cisco’s authorised partners; the configuration and the allocation come from the manufacturer, and the allocation is requested with an end-user certificate. Name the configuration you are looking at, or the processors and memory you need, how many systems, and the company that will operate them, and request a quote.
