VIC Stateless adapter, can define multiple vnics and vhbas: initially supporting 2 Fibre Channel and 16 Ethernet vnics, increasing to 128 interfaces over time. Adapter consolidation: one vnic adapter can replace multiple NICs and HBAs, resulting in fewer NICs, HBAs, switches and cables. VN-Link architecture: Provides network visibility to virtual machines; configurations and policy follow the virtual machine during migration Hypervisor bypass: Virtual machines get direct access to hardware I/O devices, eliminating the overhead of embedded software switches. 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc.
