Virtual connect

VC is a network interconnected technology to replace traditional switch connections and management.

VC reduces network costs in various aspects. For example, it reduces cabling cost and complexity, and
allows pre-provision of network assignments. VC also simplifies blade server connectivity to production

LANs, SANs and converged networks. The VC technology uses an abstraction layer between servers and

their external networks to virtualize I/O connections, and displays network interface (NIC) and host bus

adapter (HBA) addresses on LANs and SANs, instead of the default physical interface addresses.
IMC offers virtual connect management, allowing you to configure Ethernet network, FC, FCoE, and
iSCSI connections and server downlink port mappings.
