Simplify and make your data center change-ready. Virtual Connect is a new class of blade interconnect and is the simplest, most flexible connection to your networks.
|
|
Ease of operations and deployment |
|
|
- Enclosures can be pre-configured for easy, drop-in server installations either locally or in a remote site
- Servers are change ready - add, move, replace, upgrade without affecting the LAN
- The standards-based Virtual Connect Ethernet Module is compatible with all other standards-based switch products. This provides high performance, end-to-end connections with your favorite brands of core switches
- The Virtual Connect Ethernet Module appears as a pass-thru device to the network. Any changes to the server are transparent to its associated network, cleanly separating the servers from LAN and relieving LAN Administrators from server maintenance
|
|
Enterprise class performance and availability |
|
|
- Dual wire-speed 10Gb Fiber uplinks provide highest performance and distance available to data center switches
- 1Gb/s downlink connections to server NIC's , and up to 28Gb/s total uplink bandwidth provides non-blocking bandwidth to datacenter networks
- High availability features such as NIC teaming, trunk failover, and dual redundant Virtual Connect Ethernet Modules assure maximum uptime
- IGMP Snooping optimizes bandwidth for groupware and streaming applications
- Standards based data center connectivity such as port based VLAN's, VLAN tagging, and uplink port aggregation are built in
- Virtual Connect server profiles are shared and continually updated between high availability pairs, and within a shared Virtual Domain of stacked enclosures

|
Security and management |
|
|
- Standards based SNMP Management and Port Mirroring capability
- Scriptable Command Line Interface for streamlining administrative processes
- No extra software to purchase, the embedded Virtual Connect Manager runs on each Virtual Connect Ethernet Module. You can define available LANs, server connections, and manage server connection profiles
- Role based privileges for 'Administrator' account defined by default and can be modified by the BladeSystem administrator
- Secure LDAP support for pre-defined Administrator authentication and privileges
- Additional role based privileges for user accounts can be created by domain, server, networking, and storage
