Fabric interconnects: Cisco UCS 6332 or 6332-16UP Fabric Interconnects are
typically deployed in an active-active high-availability configuration. If you want to
upgrade an existing system with 40-Gbps connectivity to upstream data center
switches, you can replace your exiting fabric interconnects, and they will support
10-Gbps of connectivity to existing downstream servers and fabric extenders.
