Cisco SNS 3415 and Cisco SNS-3495 Appliances
The Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server is designed for performance and density over a wide range
of business workloads, from web serving to distributed databases.
Building on the success of the Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server, the enterprise-class Cisco SNS
3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server further extends the capabilities of the Cisco Unified Computing System
portfolio in a 1U form factor. The Cisco SNS 3415 or Cisco SNS 3495 server does this with the addition of
the Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family, which delivers significant performance and efficiency gains.
In addition, the Cisco SNS 3415 Cisco SNS 3495 server offers up to 256 GB of RAM, 8 drives, and 2 x 1
GbE lights-out management (LOM) ports that deliver outstanding levels of density and performance in a
compact package.
