About the Cisco UCS VIC 15238 Quad-Port Adapter

The Cisco UCS VIC 15238 Quad-Port Adapter delivers unified connectivity with 100 Gbps aggregate bandwidth across four 10/25GbE ports, enabling enterprise storage architects and network engineers to consolidate Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and NVMe traffic on a single PCIe interface. Built on the 4th Generation VIC platform, this full-height, half-length adapter connects via PCIe 4.0 x16 to supported Cisco UCS C-Series Rack Servers and S-Series Storage Servers, providing deterministic, low-latency access to converged infrastructure without the complexity of multiple adapters.

The UCSC-PCIE-C15238 supports advanced protocols including FCoE, iSCSI, and NVMe over Fabrics (RoCE), alongside full RoCE v2 RDMA capabilities for latency-sensitive workloads. Up to 256 virtual interfaces—combining vNICs and vHBAs—can be provisioned per adapter, while SR-IOV support and stateless architecture enable portable, policy-driven deployments via Cisco UCS Manager or Cisco Intersight. Compatible with VMware ESXi, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Microsoft Windows Server, Ubuntu Server, and hypervisors including vSphere, Hyper-V, and KVM, this adapter integrates seamlessly into heterogeneous data center environments. Single-Wire Management support reduces operational overhead. IT procurement teams seeking to modernize storage and networking infrastructure will find this adapter essential for high-performance, multi-protocol deployments.
