UCS 2304XP I/O MODULE 4 EXTERNAL 8 INTERNAL 40GB PORTS

Description

Cisco IOM 2304XP I/O Module (4 External, 8 Internal 40Gb Ports) – Blade

• Management by Cisco UCS Manager: Reduces TCO by removing management modules from the chassis, making the chassis stateless; Provides a single, highly available management domain for all system chassis, reducing administrative tasks
• Autoconfiguration: Simplifies operation by automatically synchronizing firmware levels between the fabric extenders and the interconnects
• Unified fabric: Decreases TCO by reducing the number of Network Interface Cards (NICs), Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), switches, and cables needed; Transparently encapsulates Fibre Channel packets into Ethernet
• Automatic failover: Increases availability with an active/active data plane
• Scalable bandwidth: Reduces TCO by optimizing overall system capacity to match actual workload demands
• Environmental monitoring: Removes the need for chassis management modules
• Lossless fabric: Provides a reliable, robust foundation for unifying LAN and SAN traffic on a single transport
• Priority Flow Control (PFC): Simplifies management of multiple traffic flows over a single network link; Supports different classes of service, allowing both lossless and classic Ethernet on the same fabric
• Systemwide bandwidth management: Helps enable consistent and coherent Quality-of-Service (QoS) management throughout the system
• Cisco Data Center Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) technology: Helps enable a consistent operational model between virtual and physical environments; Provides the same level of network visibility for virtualized and nonvirtualized environments; Improves diagnostic and troubleshooting capabilities in a virtual environment; Simplifies network and security policy enforcement when migrating virtual machines from one host to another
