Description
Ethernet Networking Capabilities
The UCS-VIC-M82-8P Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card is an 8 port Ethernet Network Adapter designed for use in Cisco UCS server environments. It provides high-performance, low-latency connectivity for virtual machines running on the host server.
This network adapter supports up to eight 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connections, providing a total of 80 Gbps of throughput. It also supports industry-standard virtualization technologies, including VLANs, Quality of Service (QoS), and NIC Teaming, allowing for advanced network configuration options.
The UCS-VIC-M82-8P supports a wide range of protocols, including TCP/IP, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). This makes it ideal for use in data centers and cloud computing environments, where high-speed networking and storage connectivity are critical.
In addition, the UCS-VIC-M82-8P is highly scalable, with the ability to add additional network adapters as needed. This allows organizations to easily expand their network capabilities without disrupting their existing infrastructure.
Energy Efficiency and Power Management
The Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card (VIC) M82-8P is a network adapter designed for use in the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) platform. It provides eight ports of 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and is designed for virtualized data centers and cloud computing environments.
Energy Efficiency: The M82-8P is designed with energy efficiency in mind. It uses a low-power ASIC and has advanced power management features that can significantly reduce energy consumption. For example, the adapter supports Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), which reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity. The M82-8P also supports dynamic power management, which adjusts the power usage of the adapter based on network traffic levels.
Power Management: The M82-8P has advanced power management features that enable it to dynamically adjust its power usage based on network traffic levels. For example, it supports PCI Express (PCIe) Active State Power Management (ASPM), which reduces power consumption when the adapter is not in use. The M82-8P also supports dynamic power management, which adjusts the power usage of the adapter based on network traffic levels. This feature helps to reduce energy consumption and lower operating costs.
Virtual Interface Card and Quality of Service
Virtual Interface Card (VIC) is a network adapter designed for the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) platform. The VIC acts as a virtual adapter, allowing multiple physical adapters to be grouped together and presented as a single adapter. This enables administrators to assign different VLANs to different virtual adapters and provides a high level of flexibility and scalability.
The Cisco UCS VIC-M82-8P is a VIC card with 8 ports that provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports for use with the Cisco UCS platform. The VIC-M82-8P provides a high level of network bandwidth and is designed for high-performance applications.
Quality of Service (QoS) is a network management technology that provides a way to prioritize network traffic based on different types of data. The VIC-M82-8P supports QoS, which enables administrators to prioritize network traffic based on different types of data such as video, voice, and data. This allows administrators to ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth and that less critical applications do not consume too much bandwidth.
