Why are RAM prices so high?
The refurbished Cisco UCS B480 M5 4 Bay SFF 1U Blade Server is a dense 4-socket blade platform built for virtualization clusters, database workloads, and enterprise environments that need serious compute density without giving up rack efficiency. This is a professionally refurbished Cisco UCS system that has been fully tested and rebuilt for production use.
When it comes to processing power, this platform gives you a wide range of Intel Xeon Scalable processors to work with, including high-core-count Xeon Gold and Platinum options. Storage stays straightforward with four 2.5-inch SFF bays supporting SAS, SATA, and SSD configurations depending on how you want to balance capacity and performance. One thing that stands out here is the memory footprint — with 48 DIMM slots and support for large DDR4 configurations, this chassis handles memory-heavy workloads without much effort.
This is a workhorse platform that thrives in environments like:
Management is handled through Cisco UCS Manager, which keeps compute, networking, and resource administration centralized. Worth noting: the listing includes the Cisco Virtual Interface Card UCSB-MLOM-40G-03 for integrated connectivity. Integrated networking and RAID functionality help keep deployment clean, especially in existing UCS environments where centralized management is already part of the workflow.
A used Cisco UCS B480 M5 like this gives you access to enterprise-grade hardware without enterprise-new pricing. Every system is professionally refurbished, fully tested for functionality, and configured to order before shipment so you know exactly what is arriving in your rack.
