New IDC Whitepaper on TCO of HP Virtual Connect Flex-10
Realizing TCO Savings with HP BladeSystem Virtual Connect
Flex-10 Technology - IDC This IDC Report discusses how HP
Virtual Connect Flex-10 technology can reduce management
complexity, increase IT utilization, and improve the total
cost of ownership (TCO). Server systems and data transfer
volumes are increasing exponentially, presenting challenges
to IT managers in terms of bandwidth bottlenecks and
connectivity costs. IT managers face significant obstacles
in their attempt to discover more cost-effective, scalable
ways to deal with the increasing complexity of servers and
their associated LAN and SAN environments. HP Virtual
Connect technology is an interconnect option for HP
BladeSystem designed to simplify the connection of blade
servers to datacenter networks.
