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
Virtual Connect solves these
& makes IT change-ready
Servers Networks
•Reduces cables w/o adding switches
No new FC domains!
