Hepls reduce TCO by consolidating the overall number of NICs, HBAs, cables, and switches because LAN and SAN traffic run over the same adapter card and fabric
Creates fully functional unique and independent PCIe adapters and interfaces (NICs or HBAs) without requiring single-root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) support from OSs or hypervisors
Supports usNIC technology, delivering latency as low as 1.2 microseconds in back-to-back VIC connections
A single unified network: the same network brings LAN, SAN, and management connectivity to each server
Unifies virtual and physical networking in a single infrastructure
Provides virtual machine visibility from the physical network and a consistent network operating model for physical and virtual servers
Enables configurations and policies to follow the virtual machine during virtual machine migration
Provides high I/O performance for demanding applications
