The Cisco UCS 6296UP 96-Port Fabric Interconnect is a core part of the Cisco unified computing system. Typically deployed in redundant pairs, the Cisco UCS 6296UP Fabric Interconnects provide uniform access to both networks and storage.
-
Highly scalable architecture
The fabric extender architecture scales up to 20 chassis in a single unified system without additional complexity, eliminating dedicated chassis management and blade switches, and reducing cabling.
-
Virtual-machine-optimized services
VM-FEX technology helps enable a consistent operational model and visibility between physical and virtual environments; it simplifies enforcement of security and network policy when moving virtual machines across hosts.
