x16 PCIe generation-2 interfaces
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
● Helps reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches because
LAN and SAN traffic run over the same adapter card and fabric
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 1225 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 UCS Manager configuration limits for
your specific OS and environment in the
