The Cisco UCS 2208XP Fabric Extender, identified by part number UCS-IOM-2208XP=, is a crucial expansion module designed for Cisco Unified Computing System environments. This module features a total of 8 external ports, which offer connections to enclosures or downstream devices, providing seamless scalability and easy integration into existing infrastructure. The module works in conjunction with Cisco's Fabric Interconnects to extend the fabric to individual blade servers, ultimately simplifying layout, cabling, and operational complexity through its unified architecture.
Each of its 8 ports supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet, making it well-suited for high-performance data transfer requirements in server environments that rely on fast and efficient network connectivity. Additionally, the Cisco UCS 2208XP uses Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) technology to consolidate LAN and SAN traffic, which reduces hardware requirements and streamlines operations.
Moreover, the module's scalable architecture allows configuring and upgrading network capabilities without the need for complex rewiring or hardware additions. It easily integrates into Cisco UCS platforms and helps IT teams manage networking bandwidth more effectively while reducing downtimes during expansions or maintenance. The result is reduced network complexity and enhanced operational efficiency for data-heavy computing environments.
