What it is:

Scalable Netflow capabilities on UCS

What it can do:

Provide scalable and detailed application level (flow based) network traffic instrumentation

Collects network flow information and delivers data to a central Netflow collector.

UCS VIC Service Insertion Scalable Netflow

Flow Classifier


UCS VIC User Space Kernel Bypass Technology for Low Latency

What it is:

Ultra Low latency technology based on 2nd and 3rd Generation VIC

Approximately 2.5 microsecond latency

Direct access to VIC Hardware devices from Linux userspace

What it can do:

Improve node to node communication performance of clustered applications on UCS

Consolidate dedicated cluster interconnect traffic on Cisco Unified Fabric

Availabile now:

Included as a VIC profile in UCS Manager

Can be mixed with other eNIC and fNIC on a single adapter


UCS VIC Overlay Networks
