Why Virtual Connect is vital to you!Virtual Connect is foundational
• Foundation for:−HP’s (and your) future data center transformation
business and HP virtualization strategy — No VC means no AI
−Insight Dynamics — VSE, managing physical and logical servers (no VC and ID doesn’t work and you don’t sell it)
−HP BTO software

Introducing the next Virtual Connect breakthroughVirtual Connect Flex-10 technology• 4X more I/O connections per server
− Dual-channel 10Gb Flex-10 NIC onboard delivers 8 FlexNICs on the motherboard
− 24 FlexNIC connections per server via expansion slots
− 100% hardware-level performance− User-adjustable bandwidth from 100Mb to 10Gb
for each FlexNIC
• Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology− Delivered in the Virtual Connect Flex-10 module− VC Flex-10 reduces cables and simplifies NIC
creation, allocation and management
• Save money at every turn− Lowest cost solution for 4 or more NICs− Lowest power consumption for 6 or more NIC – up
to 270w savings per enclosure
