Blade Network RackSwitch G8100F

Blade Network RackSwitch G8100F ... Virtual, Cooler and Easier network solution.

The RackSwitch G8100 is "Virtual" - for the first time providing rack-level virtualization of networking interfaces for a rack full of server and storage systems - decoupling the scaling of networking and computing capacity via on-switch SmartConnect software. Patent-pending VMReady extensions enable movement of virtual machines-providing matching movement of VLAN assignments, ACLs, and other networking and security settings. Using VMReady, the trusted zone for the virtual machine is never compromised.

The RackSwitch G8100 is "Cooler" - implementing server-like directional cooling to maximize datacenter layout and provisioning. Its superior airflow design complements the hot-aisle and cold-aisle data center cooling model.

The RackSwitch G8100 is "Easier" with server-oriented provisioning via point-and-click management interfaces, along with BLADEHarmony Manager for updating large groups of switches.
