Cisco UCS-FI-6296-PS-BUN UCS 6296UP 96-Port Fabric Interconnect - Switch - managed - 18 x 10 Gigabit / FCoE SFP+ + 30 x SFP+ Ports on Demand - rack-mountable - DISTI

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.

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.

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.
