3 ETHERNET FABRICS

4 What Is an Ethernet Fabric? Optimized for server virtualization and cloud architectures More efficient, higher throughput, lower latency Scale-out vs. scale-up to increase flexibility and reduce cost Simplified deployment and administration 10/28/ Brocade Communications Systems, Inc.
