The Cisco VIC 1457, designated UCSC-MLOM-C25Q-04, is a high-performance, quad-port 10/25G SFP28 modular LAN on motherboard (mLOM) adapter tailored for Cisco UCS C-Series M5 and M6 servers. It supports a broad range of virtualization technologies, including SR-IOV and NVGRE, and is optimized for low-latency, high-throughput workloads. Its design allows deep integration with UCS Manager and Intersight, facilitating intelligent traffic management and scalable deployment. This combination of performance, efficiency, and integration makes it ideal for today’s dynamic data center demands

The VIC 1457 is purpose-built for deployment within the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS), specifically for the UCS C-Series rack servers such as the C220 M5/M6 and C240 M5/M6. It empowers these servers with robust, flexible I/O capabilities suited for high-density virtual environments, cloud computing, and enterprise applications that demand high-speed, scalable networking. Its ability to unify LAN and SAN traffic further positions it as a strategic asset in converged infrastructure and hybrid cloud setups.
