Building the Next Generation Data Centre Network—A How-To Guide Use What’s Proven. Avoid Vendor Lock-in. Virtualize. • BLADE is the leading supplier of Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet network infrastructure in blades and server and storage racks. • BLADE is the open-standards alternative to single vendor solutions. • VMready: the industry’s first and only automated Virtual Machine-aware network virtualization solution. • BLADE’s switches are found in over 350 of the top 25 Fortune 500 companies’ data centers. • The world’s largest stock exchange • The world’s largest Ethernet supercomputing cluster • BLADE switches have Certified interoperability into Cisco and other vendors’s networks. • Industry-standard CLI simplifies configuration for those familiar with Cisco environments. Router(config)# spanning-tree stp 2 bridge hello 2 • BLADE is the trusted partner and supplier of networking fabric solutions to IBM, HP and NEC. • BLADEHarmony Manager simplifies device management across the network, and integrates into other vendors’ network management systems. Converge onto Ethernet. Make it Faster. • Until now, to get the best performance, you needed a different fabric for server to storage (Fibre Channel), server to server (InfiniBand), and server to client (Ethernet). Not all 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches are created equal. BLADE’s 10G switches lead the market in lossless, low latency performance. See the difference for yourself: • BLADE’s Unified FabricArchitecture solves all of these issues: • Our BLADEOS supports Loss less Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet, and Converged Enhanced Ethernet. • Converging networking, storage, and compute networks onto a single wire improves performance everywhere. 8x Lower Latency* • VMready configures the network parameters of Virtual Machines and maintains their performance and security settings as they migrate. • Virtual machines can move to different physical servers without requiring complex network configurations or introducing security vulnerabilities. VMX VMX VM1 VM1 VM1 VM2 VM2 Virtual Switch • BLADE has Millions of switch ports deployed worldwide. 10Gig Ethernet VMready Switch • BLADE’s Virtual Fabric (vNIC) can carve a 10G NIC into virtual pipes to the switch, reducing hardware costs while improving performance, availability and security in virtualized environments. Go Green. • 12% percent of data center energy is consumed by the networking equipment. • Deploying two 10G RackSwitches per rack across a five-rack data center can save $20,000 on your energy bill over three years. This is equivalent to: • 50,000 fewer kg of CO2 released into the atmosphere, or • Five cars removed from the road * http://tolly.com/DocDetail.aspx?DocNumber=209115 ©2010 BLADE Network Technologies, Inc.
