Abstract

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a system may include a chassis and an information handling resource disposed in an associated slot of the chassis. The chassis may be configured to receive a plurality of modular information handling systems and a plurality of modular information handling resources, each information handling resource received through a slot in the chassis. The information handling resource may be configured to map a first virtual function to a first modular information handling system received by the chassis, map a second virtual function to a second modular information handling system received by the chassis, and communicate data between the first modular information handling system and the second modular information handling system via the first virtual function and the second virtual function.
