Cisco VIC 1240 4 Port 10GbE mLOM Adapter | UCSB-MLOM-40G-01

The Cisco UCS VIC 1240 is a modular LAN-on-motherboard (mLOM) adapter designed for the M3 generation of Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers. It provides four 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports with Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capabilities. The VIC 1240 supports a stateless, agile infrastructure that can present up to 256 PCIe-compliant interfaces to the host, dynamically configured as network interface cards (NICs) or host bus adapters (HBAs). It also integrates Cisco's Data Center VM-FEX technology, extending the UCS fabric interconnects directly to virtual machines, simplifying virtualization and improving manageability.

The Cisco VIC 1240 supports bandwidth scaling through the use of a Port Expander card. When this expander is added, the VIC 1240's capabilities grow from four to eight 10-Gigabit Ethernet ports, effectively doubling the throughput available to the server. This allows administrators to adapt to increasing data demands without replacing the core adapter, maintaining a flexible and cost-efficient network infrastructure.
