The M-Series are optimized to provide what would usually be considered a “stand alone” 1u system with 1 CPU, 4 cores, and 32 to 128GB of memory. 16 Service Profiles can be provisions from 1 2u M-Series. M-Series are the answer to the need for Bare Metal requests.

Each of the 16 Service Profiles that can be provisioned per M-Series can have local disk (4 SSD’s that can have LUN’s assigned to Service Profile in boot policy) and/or boot from SAN. Next time a request comes in for that server that “Just has to have local disk and be bare metal” M-Series is the answer!

Just raw Compute and Memory” ~ from UCSGuru
