At-A-Glance
Overview
The Cisco UCS 6200 Series Fabric Interconnects are a core part of the Cisco Unified 
Computing System™ (Cisco UCS™) and provide both network connectivity and 
management capabilities to all attached Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers and 5100 
Series Blade Server Chassis (Figure 1). The Cisco UCS 6200 Series introduces a 
second-generation, expanded portfolio of Cisco UCS I/O subsystem components, 
characterized by 2-terabit (Tb) switching capacity, 160 Gbps bandwidth per chassis, 
higher port density, and lower power consumption. The portfolio offers a low  
total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) solution with an enhanced feature set such as 
unified ports; and line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel 
over Ethernet (FCoE), and Fibre Channel functions. All chassis, and therefore all 
blades, attached to the fabric interconnects become part of a single, highly available 
management domain. In addition, by supporting unified fabric, the Cisco UCS 6200 
Series provides both the LAN and SAN connectivity for all blades within its domain.
Backed by a broad system of industry-leading technology partners, the Cisco UCS 6200 
Series Fabric Interconnects are designed to meet the challenges of next-generation data 
centers, including dense multisocket, multicore, virtual machine–optimized services, in 
which infrastructure sprawl and increasingly demanding workloads are commonplace.
Business Problems the Cisco UCS 6200 Series Solves
The Cisco UCS 6200 Series provides several unique features to customers. It sets 
the standard for industry leadership in 10 Gigabit Ethernet–based unified computing 
that will enable customers to build the infrastructure for large data centers and cloud 
computing environments. The Cisco UCS 6200 Series supports deployments with 20 
Cisco UCS B-Series server chassis.
The Cisco UCS 6200 Series provides:
•  Architectural flexibility to support diverse business and application needs
•  Infrastructure simplicity to decrease TCO
•  Increased agility and flexibility for traditional deployments, with easy migration to 
virtualized, unified, and high-performance computing (HPC) environments
