Description

Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1385 – PCI Express 3.0 x16 – 5 GB/s Data Transfer Rate – 2 Port(s) – Optical Fiber – 40GBase-X – QSFP+ – Plug-in Module CNA W/RDMA REMAN

The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) is a next-generation data center platform that unites computing
networking
storage access
and virtualization resources in a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency
lossless 10 or 40 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class blade and rack x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated
scalable
multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.

Product Overview

The Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 1385 is a Cisco® innovation. It provides a policy-based
stateless
agile server infrastructure for your data center. This dual-port Enhanced Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) half-height PCI Express (PCIe) card is designed exclusively for Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers. The card supports 40 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). It incorporates Cisco’s next-generation converged network adapter (CNA) technology and offers a comprehensive feature set
providing investment protection for future feature software releases. The card can present more than 256 PCIe standards-compliant interfaces to the host
and these can be dynamically configured as either network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs). In addition
the VIC supports Cisco Data Center Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) technology. This technology extends the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect ports to virtual machines
simplifying server virtualization deployment.
