Features and Benefits 

The Cisco UCS CNA M72KR-E provides both 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 8-Gbps Fibre Channel functions using 

drivers from Emulex: 

● 

Risk mitigation through compatibility with current Emulex adapter-based SAN environments and drivers 

● 

Investment protection for existing server, network, storage, and facilities assets 

● 

Reduced TCO through consolidation of LAN and SAN traffic over the same mezzanine card and fabric, 

reducing the overall number of network interface cards (NICs), host bus adapters (HBAs), cables, and 

switches 

● 

Integrated management with Cisco UCS Manager 

It offers these main features: 

● 

Enterprise ready: Allows customers to use existing Emulex HBA stacks and drivers for storage 

● 

Unified I/O: Helps reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches 

because LAN and SAN traffic run over the same mezzanine card and fabric 

● 

Network architecture: Provides redundant path to fabric interconnect using dual 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports to 

the fabric carrying both Fibre Channel and Ethernet traffic 

● 

Unified management: Through Cisco UCS Manager, automatically discovers blades and the mezzanine 

cards on the blades
