Delivers greater throughput
2 x 10-Gbps unified I/O
● Delivers 20 Gbps to the server
● Helps reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches because LAN
● Helps reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches because LAN

Up to 256 dynamic virtual
adapters and interfaces
adapters and interfaces
● Creates fully functional unique and independent PCIe adapters and interfaces (NICs or HBAs) without
requiring single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) support from OSs or hypervisors
● Allows these virtual interfaces and adapters to be configured and operated independently, just like physical
interfaces and adapters
● Creates a highly flexible I/O environment needing only one card for all I/O configurations
Note: Cisco UCS VIC 1227T hardware is SR-IOV capable, and you can enable SR-IOV after SR-IOV is broadly
supported by the popular operating systems. Please refer to Cisco UCS Manager configuration limits for your
specific OS and environment in the
