Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1385 – network adapter – PCIe 3.0 x16 – 40 Gigabit QSFP+ x 2

The Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) 1385 is a Cisco great solution. It provides a policy-based, stateless, agile server infrastructure for your data center. This dual-port Enhanced Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable (QSFP) half-height PCI Express (PCIe) card is designed exclusively for Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers. The card supports 40 Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). It incorporates Cisco’s converged network adapter (CNA) technology and offers a comprehensive feature set, providing investment protection for feature software releases. The card can present more than 256 PCIe standards-compliant interfaces to the host, and these can be dynamically configured as either network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs). In addition, the VIC supports Cisco Data Center Virtual Machine Fabric Extender (VM-FEX) technology. This technology extends the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect ports to virtual machines, simplifying server virtualization deployment.
