Cisco UCS fabric

Connect and control UCS with one unified fabric.

Cisco UCS fabric interconnects, virtual interface cards, intelligent fabric modules, and fabric extenders tie your compute together with high-speed, policy-driven connectivity. We size and deploy the full fabric.

Overview

Run your network with ease

Fabric interconnects are the single point of connectivity and management for a UCS domain, carrying LAN, SAN, and management traffic on one wire. Pair them with virtual interface cards, intelligent fabric modules, and fabric extenders to scale compute without scaling complexity.
