Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1340
Cisco Unified Computing System Overview
The Cisco Unified Computing System
™
(Cisco UCS
®
) is a next-generation, 40-Gbps data center platform that
unites computing, network, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce
total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 40/10-
Gbps Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, 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) 1340 (Figure 1) is a 2-port 40-Gbps Ethernet or dual 4 x 10-Gbps
Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-capable modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) designed
exclusively for the M4 generation of Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers. When used in combination with an
optional port expander, the Cisco UCS VIC 1340 capabilities is enabled for two ports of 40-Gbps Ethernet.
The Cisco UCS VIC 1340 enables a policy-based, stateless, agile server infrastructure that can present over 256
PCIe standards-compliant interfaces to the host that can be dynamically configured as either network interface
cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs). In addition, the Cisco UCS VIC 1340 supports Cisco
®
Data Center
Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) technology, which extends the Cisco UCS fabric interconnect ports to
virtual machines, simplifying server virtualization deployment and management.
