Simple and Efficient Infrastructure.


Legacy Blade Server offerings

Legacy Blade Server drawbacks.

• Lot of Managed devices and Cables.

• 2 Ethernet (LAN) Switches with at

least 2 cables.

• 2 Fibre-Channel (SAN) Switches

with at least 2 cables

• 2 Mng units with at least 1 cable.

• Large Management Overhead.

• Each has its IP address, Config File,

Image version etc etc …

• Each of the above needs dedicated

ports at backbone switches.

• Must coordinate with LAN & SAN

Teams for installation.
