Important Features

Cisco 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects provide the management and communication backbone for the Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers, Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis, and Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers.

The chassis, blades, and rack-mount servers that are attached to interconnects are part of a single highly available management domain. By supporting Unified Fabric, the Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects provide the flexibility to support LAN and storage connectivity for all blades within its domain at configuration time.

Typically deployed in redundant pairs, the Cisco UCS 6300 Series Fabric Interconnects deliver uniform access to both networks and storage to facilitate a fully virtualized environment.
