Cisco Systems Korea said Monday that it has launched new integrated servers that can perform rapidly and efficiently with Intel’s fast processing power.

The product called the Unified Computing System M-Series Modular Servers, which not only optimizes users’ storage capability but also that of networking and database management, has been made to perform tasks and applications fit under cloud and virtualization computing systems.

The Korean unit of the U.S. network equipment giant added that the servers have been downsized and simplified to increase energy efficiency so that they can save power while running applications, network connections and storing data.

For instance, mobile gaming companies that seek to launch new games overseas will be able to find Cisco’s integrated servers useful as they can allow companies to set up their database centers abroad cost-efficiently with less power consumption, a Cisco Korea official explained.

“Korean companies are gradually getting the gist of the servers and understanding why they may need them in their (future) operations,” said Choi Woo-hyung, a consulting systems engineer for Cisco Korea.

Cisco introduced its first UCS servers in 2009, and secured the No.1 in the x86 blade server market in the U.S. and Korea.
