The Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS™) is a next-generation data center platform that unites compute, network, storage access, and virtualization resources into a cohesive system designed to reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and increase business agility. The system integrates a low-latency, lossless 10 Gigabit Ethernet unified network fabric with enterprise-class, x86-architecture servers. The system is an integrated, scalable, multichassis platform in which all resources participate in a unified management domain.
What is the Cisco UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 and what servers is it compatible with?
The Cisco UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 is a modular LOM (LAN-on-Motherboard) card designed for Cisco UCS M3 blade servers. This component integrates networking capabilities directly into the server motherboard, enabling 40GbE connectivity while reducing the need for separate mezzanine cards. We offer this module as part of our comprehensive Cisco UCS infrastructure solutions available from barcodesinc.com.
What connectivity options does the Cisco UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 support?
The UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 supports 40GbE QSFP+ connectivity with SR4 and LR4 optical modules and cables, enabling high-speed fiber-based connections. Both fiber and copper cabling solutions are available for 40-Gbps connectivity, including Active Optical Cable (AOC) and Direct-Attached Cable (DAC) options. Contact us today to discuss the right cabling configuration for your infrastructure needs.
Is the Cisco UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 suitable for high-density data center environments?
Yes, the UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 is well-suited for high-density, low-latency edge, aggregation, and core applications where 40GbE performance is required. Its modular design allows for efficient integration into Cisco UCS M3 blade server chassis, maximizing port density while maintaining performance. We recommend consulting with our team at barcodesinc.com to assess your specific data center architecture requirements.
What are the physical specifications and environmental requirements for the UCSB-MLOM-40G-01?
The module operates within an operating temperature range of 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F) and operating humidity of 10 to 85% relative humidity. Storage conditions support temperatures from -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F) with 5 to 95% relative humidity. These specifications ensure reliable operation in standard data center environments. Visit barcodesinc.com for detailed technical documentation.
How does the UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 enable fabric-based infrastructure and cloud readiness?
As part of the Cisco Unified Computing System architecture, the UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 provides end-to-end server visibility, management, and control in both bare metal and virtual environments. This unified architecture facilitates the transition to cloud computing and IT-as-a-Service by integrating computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage access into a single platform. Contact us today to learn how this infrastructure approach can modernize your data center.
What makes the UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 different from external network adapters?
The UCSB-MLOM-40G-01 is a modular LOM (on-motherboard) solution rather than an external mezzanine card, providing integrated 40GbE connectivity directly on the M3 blade server motherboard. This design reduces physical card slots, simplifies cabling, and provides a cleaner, more efficient infrastructure compared to traditional add-in adapters. We offer this integrated solution as part of our Cisco UCS product line available from barcodesinc.com.
