Data Sheet
Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1225
Cisco Unified Computing System Overview
The Cisco Unified Computing System
™
(Cisco UCS
®
) is a next-generation data center platform that unites
compute, networking, storage access, and virtualization resources in a cohesive system designed to reduce total
cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit
Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class blade and rack x86-architecture servers. The system is an
integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.
Product Overview
A Cisco
®
innovation, the Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 1225 (Figure 1) is a dual-port Enhanced Small
Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-capable PCI Express
(PCIe) card designed exclusively for Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers. With its half-height design, the card
preserves full-height slots in servers for third-party adapters certified by Cisco. It incorporates next-generation
converged network adapter (CNA) technology from Cisco, providing investment protection for future feature
releases. The card enables a policy-based, stateless, agile server infrastructure that can present up to 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 1225 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.

Features and Benefits
Stateless and agile: The personality of the card is determined dynamically at boot time using the service profile
associated with the server. The number, type (NIC or HBA), identity (MAC address and World Wide Name [WWN]),
failover policy, bandwidth, and quality-of-service (QoS) policies of the PCIe interfaces are all determined using the
service profile. The capability to define, create, and use interfaces on demand provides a stateless and agile server
infrastructure (Figure 2).
