Perfect for Cloud

The G8296 supports many value-added features for modern cloud deployments including unified fabric port (UFP) to help improve performance and availability when using virtual NICs. UFP allows a SFP+ 10 GbE port to be divided into up to four virtual ports with the throughput speed of each port controlled by the switch. OpenFlow support helps clients easily create software defined virtual networks (SDN) and enables a remote controller to modify network devices.
