Cisco UCS-FI-6248UP-UPG UCS 6248UP 1RU Fabric Interconnect 32 Unified Ports Upgrade
High-Performance Cisco UCS 6248UP Fabric Interconnect with 32 Unified Ports and Expansion License
The Cisco UCS-FI-6248UP-UPG Fabric Interconnect is a scalable and high-performance networking solution designed for Cisco UCS 6200 Series environments, delivering unified connectivity across compute, storage, and network resources. Built for modern data centers, this 1RU fabric interconnect supports up to 32 unified ports, with an included 12-port license, allowing flexible expansion as network demands grow.
Engineered for efficiency and performance, the UCS-FI-6248UP-UPG enables Ethernet and Fibre Channel connectivity over the same ports, simplifying infrastructure through LAN and SAN convergence. With support for FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), it reduces hardware complexity while maintaining high-speed, low-latency data transmission.
Managed through Cisco UCS Manager, the platform provides centralized, policy-based management, enabling simplified configuration, automation, and rapid deployment of server resources. This makes it ideal for virtualized environments, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise data centers requiring agility and scalability.
Designed for high availability, the fabric interconnect supports redundant A/B fabric configurations, ensuring continuous operation and resilience in mission-critical deployments. Its hot-swappable components and scalable licensing model allow organizations to expand capacity without disrupting operations.
Please note that power supplies are not included, allowing flexibility in selecting appropriate PSU configurations for your deployment.
Ideal for Cisco UCS blade and rack server connectivity, unified fabric deployments, and scalable data center networking, the Cisco UCS-FI-6248UP-UPG delivers a reliable, flexible, and future-ready foundation for high-performance IT infrastructure.
