Simplify and make your datacenter change-ready with

Virtual Connect• Simplify networks

− Reduce cables without adding switches to manage

• Simplify server connections− Cleanly separate server enclosure from LAN and SAN

• Change servers in minutes, not days − Add, move, and replace servers fast without affecting

your LANs or SANs

11

Server-Edge Virtualization pools all servers as one

Virtual Connect solves these & makes IT change-ready

•Reduces cables w/o adding switches No new FC domains!

•Maintains end-to-end connections of your favorite brands (Cisco, BNT, Brocade, McData, etc.)

•Cleanly separates mgt of Server, LAN & SAN

•Relieves LAN & SAN admins from server maintenance w/o affecting their authority (their work is done after deployment)•Servers are Change-Ready - add, move, replace, upgrade w/o affecting LAN or SAN

•MAC & WWN are locally administered so LAN & SAN connections stay constant

• Manages hundreds of VC domains

• Scales and simplifies deployment of new VC domains as infrastructure grows

• Environments with plans for more than one rack of BL enclosures

Managing Virtual Connect environmentsOptions for large and small environments

• Web console integrated into VC Ethernet module firmware

• Manages individual VC domains

• Environments with 4 enclosures and no plans to expand

Flex-10 technology embeds Virtual Connect flexibility into

the server blade

Virtual Connect + Flex-10 technology

Wire once, easily move applications and then add, replace, and recover servers on-the-fly

Up to 8 NICs across 2 ports, plus the ability to fine-tune network bandwidth and connections at the server edge
