A core part of the Cisco Unified Computing System, the Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects provide both network connectivity and management capabilities to all attached blades and chassis. The Cisco UCS 6100 Series offers line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) functions.
The interconnects provide the management and communication backbone for the Cisco UCS B-Series Blades and UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis. All chassis, and therefore all blades, attached to the interconnects become part of a single, highly available management domain. In addition, by supporting unified fabric, the Cisco UCS 6100 Series provides both the LAN and SAN connectivity for all blades within its domain.
Typically deployed in redundant pairs, fabric interconnects provide uniform access to both networks and storage, eliminating the barriers to deploying a fully virtualized environment. Two models are available: the 20-port Cisco UCS 6120XP and the 40-port Cisco UCS 6140XP.
Both models offer key features and benefits, including:
- High performance Unified Fabric with line-rate, low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and FCoE.
- Centralized unified management with Cisco UCS Manager software.
- Virtual machine optimized services with the support for VM-FEX technologies.
- Efficient cooling and serviceability with front-to-back cooling, redundant front-plug fans and power supplies, and rear cabling.
- Available expansion module options provide Fibre Channel and/or 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink connectivity.
- Unified Computing Makes an Impact
Unified Computing receives industry recognition for leadership, performance benchmarks, and customer success.
