Management by Cisco
UCS Manager
■
Increases flexibility with a range of interconnect solutions, including
copper Twinax cable for short runs and fiber for long runs
■
Consumes less power per port than traditional solution
■
Helps enable cost-effective connections on fabric extenders with Cisco
Fabric Extender Transceiver (FET) optics
■
Allows all elements connected to the interconnects to participate in a
single, highly available management domain
Unified Fabric
■
Decreases total cost of ownership (TCO) by reducing the number of
NICs, HBAs, switches, and cables needed
■
Transparently encapsulates Fibre Channel packets into Ethernet
Fabric Extender
Architecture
■
Scales to 20 chassis without adding complexity by eliminating the need
for dedicated chassis management and blade switches and by reducing
the number of cables needed
■
Provides deterministic latency for optimized application performance
QSFP-compatible Ports
Allows all ports to be configured to operate in 10-Gbps or 40-Gbps Ethernet
mode with the transceiver options specified for use with QSFP+ and SFP+
compatible ports (see
).
Transceivers
The Cisco UCS 6300 Series supports a wide variety of 10-Gbps and 40-Gbps
Ethernet connectivity options using Cisco 40 Gbps QSFP+ and 10 Gbps SFP+
modules. Alternatively, 4/8/16 Gbps Fibre Channel interfaces are supported.
Port-based Licensing
Helps enable a pay-as-you-go model, allowing customers to add capacity as
the networking needs of an individual system increase
