Cisco UCS VIC 15231 2x100G mLOM for X Compute Node | Ethernet Adapter — UCSX-ML-V5D200G=

Keep compute nodes ready for demanding east-west traffic, storage access, and virtualization workloads with the Cisco UCS VIC 15231 2x100G mLOM for X Compute Node. This adapter brings dual 100 GbE connectivity into a compact modular design, helping infrastructure teams preserve rack density while raising available network bandwidth at the server edge. Designed for Cisco UCS environments, the VIC 15231 fits the needs of platforms where adapter choice affects both performance and serviceability. Dual 100 GbE links give architects room to segment traffic, support high-bandwidth applications, and reduce contention on oversubscribed server connections. For teams standardizing on Cisco compute, the mLOM architecture keeps the deployment aligned with the platform rather than adding unnecessary bulk or complexity. This is the kind of adapter selected when network headroom matters. It is a strong fit for virtualization clusters, database nodes, and storage-heavy workloads that benefit from predictable throughput and a clean integration path inside the chassis. When the cost of a bottleneck is measured in delayed jobs or constrained consolidation, the right server adapter earns its place quickly. Ideal For High-throughput virtualization hosts in Cisco UCS clusters Database servers requiring dual 100 GbE uplinks Storage-intensive compute nodes with heavy east-west traffic Dense enterprise server deployments where rack space is constrained Why This Product 1 Dual 100 GbE ports for higher server-edge bandwidth 2 mLOM design preserves chassis density 3 Purpose-built for Cisco X Compute Node platforms 4 Better fit for UCS environments than generic PCIe adapters
