The Cisco UCS M71KR-E Emulex Converged Network Adapter (Part Number: N20-AE0002=) is a high-performance expansion module specifically designed for Cisco UCS blade servers. This module offers dual 2-port connectivity, supporting both Fibre Channel and Ethernet on a single interface, which allows administrators to simplify and consolidate their network infrastructures. By combining these different data traffic types, organisations can benefit from reduced cabling complexity and optimised data flows.
The adapter is built to enhance performance and compatibility across a variety of enterprise environments. It supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, ideal for data-intensive applications, and provides reliable features for virtual environments. The functionality of both FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet) and iSCSI is built-in, giving administrators flexibility in storage networking protocols. This makes the module suitable for organisations wanting to deploy SANs (Storage Area Networks) without requiring separate adapters for each transport protocol.
The adapter is supported by Cisco UCS systems, ensuring seamless operation within Cisco's server environments. By leveraging the Unified Fabric approach of Cisco UCS, network and storage resources can be pooled and managed centrally, optimising operational efficiency. Its design is fully compatible with Cisco’s Unified Computing System B-Series Blade Servers, making integration straightforward and simple to maintain.
Additionally, Emulex drivers are known for their reliability and interoperability, which aids the smooth functioning of the adapter in various data centre environments. The inclusion of hardware offload capabilities further boosts efficiency by offloading CPU-intensive processes to the network adapter.
