Description
Management by Cisco
UCS Manager
■
Reduces TCO by removing management modules from the chassis,
making the chassis stateless, and UCS systems management inherently
scalable
■
Provides a single, highly available management domain for all system
chassis, reducing administrative tasks through automated service profile
configuration
Unified fabric
Decreases TCO by reducing the number of network interface cards (NICs)
,
host bus adapters (HBAs)
, switches, and cables needed
Support for up to two

Series Fabric
Extenders
■
Eliminates switches from the chassis along with complex configuration
and management of those switches, allowing a system to scale without
adding complexity and cost
■
Allows use of two fabric extenders for redundancy or aggregation of
bandwidth
■
Enables bandwidth scaling based on application needs; blades can be
configured for 1
configured for 1
.25 Gbps to 10 Gbps or more
Support for up to two

Fabric
Interconnects that
connect directly to an
external switch
■
Allows use of up to two internal 6324 fabric interconnects for
redundancy or aggregation of bandwidth
■
The 6324 Fabric Interconnect combines the Fabric Extender and Fabric
Interconnect functions into one plug-in module, and allows direct
connection to an external switch.

■
Supports up to 2x 40 Gbit Ethernet links to each half-width blade slot or
up to 4x 40 Gbit links to each full-width slot
up to 4x 40 Gbit links to each full-width slot
■
Provides 8 blades with 1.2 terabits (Tb) of available Ethernet
throughput for future I/O requirements. Note that the UCS 6324 FI
supports only 512 Gbps.
