• Oversubscribe the port licenses for much better costs
• 16 servers per UCS “virtual chassis”
• Scale to 160 Servers is the target (10 sets of 2232)
• Future single-wire becomes a cabling and SW effort instead of HW
• C200M2, C210M2, C250M2, C200M2SFF, C260M2, C460M2
• Generation 2 IO adapters

Dynamic Port Allocation: Lossless Ethernet or Fibre Channel
Use-cases
Native Fibre Channel
§ Flexible LAN & storage convergence based on business needs
§ Service can be adjusted based on the demand for specific traffic
FC Eth
Lossless Ethernet: 1/10GbE, FCoE, iSCSI, NAS
Benefits § Simplify switch purchase -
remove ports ratio guess work
§ Increase design flexibility
§ Remove specific protocol bandwidth bottlenecks

Individual Ethernets
DCB Ethernet
Individual Storage (iSCSI, NFS, FC)
Blade Management Channels (KVM, USB, CDROM, Adapters)
§ Virtual Switch Ports, Cables, and NIC Ports
§ Mapping of Ethernet and FC Wires over Ethernet
§ Service Level enforcement § Multiple data types (jumbo,
lossless, FC)
§ Individual link-states § Fewer Cables
• Multiple Ethernet traffic co-exist on same cable
§ Fewer adapters needed § Overall less power § Interoperates with existing
Models • Management remains constant
for system admins and LAN/SAN admins
§ Possible to take these links further upstream for aggregation
