Abstract: The High Performance Data Center: The Role of Ethernet in Consolidation and Virtualization

Today’s high performance data center needs to generate answers rapidly and requires that the right people can seamlessly access those answers. Answers are dynamic and must be accurate. Additionally, the more accurate answers a business can produce in a given time, the more revenue it can generate. And as the world and workforces disperse, there must be fast and reliable connections from anywhere at any time for the data center to help increase efficiency and competitiveness.

Enabling the rise of this high performance data center are the following technological changes:

  • High performance, cost-effective computing.
  • High-speed storage access and backup.
  • Embedded security and dynamic denial of service protection.
  • High-speed, congestion-free networks.
  • Virtualizing a centralized network and assets.
