Improved Switching Infrastructure Need low-cost, low-latency switches. Likely to arrive in the blade environment before we see them elsewhere. Ethernet: Will our Hero Survive?

Transparently & dramatically increases server application capacity Higher I/O throughput Improved CPU utilization / Higher transaction capacity Lower latency Non-disruptive migration path to future 10GigE networks 10GigE HW/SW solution available soon Only required on one end of the connection - no client changes Supports incremental deployment - one server at a time No new fabric, protocols, packet formats, or infrastructure required No application or operating system changes required
