“With Romley-based servers…switching connectivity will have to

be upgraded to 10GbE ...expect the Ethernet switch market to see a

significant boost, doubling its (year-over-year)

growth rates in 2013/14.”

Oppenheimer and Co.

“Also expects…adoption and growth of 40G/100G to serve as aggregation

ports for 10G and inter-switch links between data centers and cloud

providers

Application Requirements Driving Fabric Scale

• Data deluge brought on by new paradigms, VDI, Video, Cloud, Hadoop, etc.

• LAN/SAN Converged Networking

• Changing traffic patterns in data center

• Increasing server virtualization, more VMs per server

• Accelerating adoption of 10G at access layer

• Investment protection for the next 10 years

Unified Data Center Key Takeaways

Unified Data Center is a platform

designed from the ground up to

deliver

IT as a Service

Changing the economics of the

data center requires a unified

approach to people, process, and

technology

The approach delivers the

promised benefits of business

agility, financial efficiency and IT

simplification
