Description
Introduction to Converged Network Adapters
The UCSB-MEZ-QLG-03 Cisco 2 Ports Converged Network Adapter is a part of the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) and provides a high-performance and cost-effective network solution for data centers. This adapter is designed for use in the UCS B-Series Blade Server, providing a unified network interface for both LAN and SAN (Storage Area Network) connectivity.
The converged network adapter has two ports, providing increased bandwidth and redundancy. It supports 10 Gbps Ethernet, FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and iSCSI protocols, allowing for efficient and flexible data center networking. This adapter integrates with the Cisco UCS Manager, providing centralized management and provisioning for network connections.
The adapter is equipped with advanced features such as virtual NIC (vNIC) support, VLAN tagging, quality of service (QoS), and traffic shaping, ensuring secure and optimized network performance. Additionally, it is designed with low-latency and high-bandwidth capabilities, making it ideal for applications such as virtualization, database, and video streaming.
Performance and Bandwidth of Converged Network Adapters
The Cisco 2 Ports Converged Network Adapter (UCSB-MEZ-QLG-03) is a dual-port adapter that provides high-speed data, storage, and LAN connectivity for blade servers. This adapter is designed to work in the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) environment and is optimized for virtualized and cloud computing environments.
Performance:
The Cisco 2 Ports Converged Network Adapter supports 10 Gbps data transfer rate per port, providing a total of 20 Gbps of network bandwidth. It also supports advanced hardware acceleration, such as TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload and Large Send Offload (LSO), which helps reduce the CPU utilization and improve overall performance.
Bandwidth:
The Cisco 2 Ports Converged Network Adapter supports up to 20 Gbps of combined bandwidth, which is the maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over the network at a time. The adapter uses PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0 technology, which provides a high-speed connection to the server. The adapter also supports hardware-based Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq), which helps improve network bandwidth utilization by reducing the CPU utilization.
Manageability and Scalability of 2 Ports Network Adapter
The UCSB-MEZ-QLG-03 Cisco 2 Ports Converged Network Adapter is a highly manageable and scalable network adapter that is designed to provide seamless connectivity and performance for data centers and cloud environments.
Manageability:
The adapter supports Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) and is compatible with the Cisco UCS Manager, providing a single point of management for the entire Cisco UCS environment. This allows administrators to easily monitor, manage, and troubleshoot the adapter remotely, reducing downtime and improving overall efficiency.
Scalability:
The adapter supports 2 ports and can be easily scaled as the network environment grows. With its advanced technologies such as PCI Express Gen3 and 10 Gb Ethernet, the adapter provides fast, reliable connectivity for high-bandwidth applications. Additionally, the adapter is fully compatible with the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) B-Series Blade Servers, providing a scalable and flexible solution for growing network environments.
