Cisco SingleConnect technology provides an exceptionally easy, intelligent, and efficient way to connect and 

manage computing in the data center. SingleConnect technology dramatically simplifies the way that data centers 

connect to:  

● 

Rack and blade servers  

● 

Physical servers and virtual machines  

● 

LANs, SANs, and management networks  

The solution addresses the challenges of today’s data center, and the result is a simple, intelligent, and efficient 

fabric that is:  

● 

Easy to use: SingleConnect technology provides a “wire once and walk away” solution that eliminates 

traditional manual, time-consuming, error-prone processes and instead makes connecting servers to Cisco 

UCS fast and easy.  

● 

Intelligent: The technology is intelligent because it uses a zero-touch model to allocate I/O connectivity 

(LAN, SAN, and management) across any type of server: physical rack and blade servers and virtual 

machines. The network intelligence helps Cisco UCS adapt to the needs of applications. Rather than 

limiting applications to specific servers, Cisco UCS makes it easy to run any workload on any server.  

● 

Efficient: The technology is highly efficient because LAN, SAN, and management connections are shared 

over a single network, increasing utilization while reducing the number of moving parts compared to 

traditional approaches with multiple networks.  

SingleConnect technology is implemented with an end-to-end system I/O architecture that uses Cisco Unified 

Fabric and Cisco Fabric Extender Technology (FEX Technology) to connect every Cisco UCS component with a 

single network and a single network layer. As customers expect from Cisco, the Cisco UCS I/O architecture is 

based on open standards and is highly reliable, available, and secure.
