Ethernet Fabrics

A truly virtualized data center is the foundation for cloud-based architectures and IT models. In turn, virtualized data centers require agile service delivery vehicles, including the ability to add network capacity with appropriate services on demand, and new levels of operational simplicity in infrastructure deployment, administration, and monitoring.

However, the underlying limitations in existing virtualization and system management tools—as well as the design of current network architectures—have often prevented organizations from meeting the performance, availability, security, and mobility requirements of cloud computing.

In order to simplify the management layer and bring the promise of virtualization to fruition, the underlying infrastructure—especially the network—must evolve. It must move from management of physical ports to flows (virtual server to virtual server or virtual server to virtual storage communication). It must be simpler to set up, operate, and scale. And it must be more flexible, highly resilient, and much more VM-aware.
