The CISCO UCSB-MLOM-40G-04, known as the Cisco UCS VIC 1440, is an advanced modular Lan-On-Motherboard (LOM) networking interface designed for integration within Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) B-Series Blade Servers. Offering enhanced capabilities over its predecessors, the VIC 1440 delivers superior connectivity for data centers requiring high bandwidth and low latency connections. It features 40Gbps connectivity through dual ports and is capable of running either Ethernet or Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) protocols, catering to a mix of network and storage communication needs. Like the 1340 model, the 1440 supports up to 256 PCIe virtual interfaces, enabling high levels of server and network virtualization. These virtual interfaces can be dynamically managed and assigned as either virtual network interface cards (vNICs) or Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), providing unparalleled flexibility in configuring server networking. The incorporation of the latest networking technologies and support for Cisco's UCS Manager allows for easy integration within the UCS ecosystem, delivering optimized performance, centralized management, and simplified operations. The VIC 1440 is an ideal solution for businesses looking to optimize their data center performance and efficiency with cutting-edge networking technology.
