The Cisco UCS E1100D M6 adds local computing capacity to compatible Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms, helping enterprise branches run applications without deploying a separate server. Installed as a double-wide module, it supports virtualised workloads, local data processing and essential services in locations where space and infrastructure are limited.
As branch environments take on more local applications, data processing and virtualised services, infrastructure teams need compute capacity close to the site without adding a separate server platform.
The Cisco UCS-E1100D-M6 is a double-wide server module designed for compatible Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms. It allows organisations to combine branch routing and local computing within one chassis, reducing the amount of separate hardware required at distributed sites.
With a 10-core Intel Xeon processor, up to 128 GB of memory and four storage slots, the module provides a practical base for virtual machines, local applications and data-processing workloads. This helps keep essential services closer to users and supports locations where connectivity to central infrastructure may be constrained.
By placing compute directly inside the Catalyst 8300 platform, the Cisco UCS-E1100D-M6 can simplify branch infrastructure, reduce rack requirements and bring routing and server resources into a more compact deployment. It suits enterprise sites that need local processing without maintaining a separate standalone server.
Our team can help you assess the Cisco UCS-E1100D-M6, confirm Catalyst 8300 compatibility and plan the right configuration for your branch workloads.
The Cisco UCS-E1100D-M6 is an integrated compute module for compatible Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms, providing local processing and virtualisation capacity for enterprise branch environments.
Double-Wide Server Module
The module installs directly into a compatible Catalyst 8300 platform, combining branch networking and compute resources within one chassis.
10-Core Processing
An Intel Xeon-1749-NT processor with 10 cores provides a practical compute base for local applications, virtual machines and branch services.
Expandable System Memory
Support for 32 GB to 128 GB of DDR4 memory allows the platform to be configured around different workload and virtualisation requirements.
Flexible Local Storage
Four small-form-factor storage slots support SATA or NVMe SSD options, providing local capacity for operating systems, applications and workload data.
Catalyst 8300 Integration
The module is designed for supported Catalyst 8300 models, helping reduce the need for a separate standalone server at distributed sites.
Virtualised Workload Support
Support for platforms including VMware ESXi and Red Hat Enterprise Linux enables applications to run as virtual machines or directly on a supported operating system.
Compact Edge Infrastructure
Bringing compute into the branch router can reduce equipment footprint and simplify deployments where rack space, power and on-site infrastructure are limited.
If you need local compute within a compatible Catalyst 8300 deployment, our team can help confirm platform compatibility and configure the Cisco UCS-E1100D-M6 around your branch workload requirements.
The Cisco UCS-E1100D-M6 is a double-wide compute module for compatible Cisco Catalyst 8300 Series Edge Platforms. It fits distributed enterprise sites that need local applications, virtual machines or data processing close to operations without deploying a separate standalone server.
Retail sites can use the module to run local store services, monitoring tools and operational applications alongside the branch network platform. Keeping selected workloads on site can support continuity when wide-area connectivity is limited and reduces the need for separate server hardware in small communications rooms.
Clinics and satellite healthcare locations may need local processing for operational applications, device integration and essential branch services. The UCS-E1100D-M6 provides compute capacity within the Catalyst 8300 platform, helping teams keep infrastructure compact while supporting workloads that benefit from remaining close to staff and connected systems.
Remote operational sites can use local compute for data collection, protocol conversion, monitoring and application services near connected equipment. Integrating the server module into the branch platform reduces the amount of separate hardware required in locations where rack space, power and on-site technical support are limited.
Logistics environments often rely on local services for scanners, inventory workflows, cameras and site operations. The module can host virtualised or dedicated workloads close to the depot, helping reduce dependence on constant access to central systems while keeping networking and compute within a consolidated edge design.
Finance organisations can deploy the module in supported branch platforms where local applications, monitoring services or controlled processing must remain close to users. It suits smaller regulated locations that need centrally managed infrastructure without introducing a separate branch server and additional hardware footprint.
We can help confirm Catalyst 8300 compatibility and design a Cisco UCS-E1100D-M6 deployment around your local workload, virtualisation, storage and branch infrastructure requirements.
