Rearchitecting the Datacenter Infrastructure for Improved Performance and Efficiency

Overview This white paper tries to explain how increased consolidation provides enterprises with the ability to unravel the complexity of their datacenters, and that the combination of server and LAN switch consolidation provides more benefits than just server consolidation or LAN switch consolidation alone. There is a benefit in being able to leverage the existing network management tools and personnel for the management of the BladeCenter Cisco Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet switch.
