Unified Fabric

• Simplify I/O Infrastructure and Management • Reduce Support Infrastructure up to 50% – Nics, HBA’s, Chassis Interconnects, Cabling

Embedded – Unified Management

• Single, Highly Available, Point of Management • Reduce management tools, consoles, modules with full interoperability via XML API

Extended Memory Technology

• More Economical footprint for memory intensive workloads and higher consolidation ratios. • Large Dataset workloads on two socket servers.

VN Link – Virtualized Adapter

• I/O consolidation and increased cpu performance • Network policy control and transparancy to the VM level.

Dynamic Provisioning Service Profiles

• Faster provisioning - reduced HA & Burst spares • Enables consistent infrastructure policies w/RBAC
