The Cisco Unified Computing System is built from the following components:
· Cisco UCS 6100 Series Fabric Interconnects: line-rate, low-latency, lossless interconnect switches
· Cisco UCS 5100 Series Blade Server Chassis: support for up to eight blade servers and up to two fabric extenders in a 6 rack unit (RU) enclosure
· Cisco UCS 2100 Series Fabric Extenders: unified fabric in the blade-server chassis, up to four 10-Gbps connections each
· Cisco UCS B-Series Blade Servers: enhanced support for application demands, energy use, and virtualization
· Cisco UCS B-Series Network Adapters: a range of adapters optimized for virtualization, compatibility with existing driver stacks, or efficient, high-performance Ethernet
· Cisco UCS C-Series Rack-Mount Servers: the benefits of the Unified Computing System in a rack-mount form factor
· Cisco UCS C-Series Network Adapters: a choice of four types of PCI Express (PCIe) adapters
· Cisco UCS Manager: centralized management capabilities
· Virtual Interface Cards: Cisco UCS M81KR and P81E Virtual Interface Cards Interactive Model of Unified Computing System
