Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1600 Series (VIC 15231) 2x100GbE mLOM Adapter

The Cisco UCS Virtual Interface Card 1600 Series (VIC 15231) is a modular LAN-on-Motherboard (mLOM) adapter engineered for Cisco UCS C-Series servers. It provides dual-port 100 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with virtualized NIC functionality, enabling up to 256 virtual interfaces per physical port through Cisco's proprietary virtualization architecture. This adapter consolidates network I/O, reduces fabric complexity, and delivers deterministic low-latency performance essential for mission-critical enterprise workloads.

The VIC 15231 supports advanced features including SR-IOV, VM-FEX, and dynamic vNIC provisioning, allowing IT teams to optimize resource allocation across virtualized environments without reconfiguration. The mLOM form factor integrates directly into supported C-Series motherboards, eliminating separate PCIe slot consumption and improving server thermal efficiency.

Purpose-built for Cisco UCS-standardized architectures, the VIC 15231 integrates seamlessly with Cisco UCS Manager and Intersight for unified lifecycle management, policy-driven provisioning, and real-time monitoring across hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Ideal for

• Virtualized enterprise data centers running vSphere, KVM, or Hyper-V requiring deterministic network performance and consolidated I/O
• Financial services environments demanding high-throughput, low-latency connectivity for trading platforms and real-time analytics
• Large-scale container orchestration clusters requiring per-application network policies and multi-tenant isolation
• Hybrid cloud deployments with consistent UCS infrastructure spanning on-premises and cloud extensions
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters requiring unified fabric for both compute and storage traffic
• Telecommunications and media delivery networks requiring sub-microsecond latency and predictable QoS enforcement
