Blades have made inroads into enterprise data centers by delivering higher density with a lower footprint and reduced costs for power and cooling compared to traditional rack servers. Now with multicore environments, there is an increased need for faster I/O such as 10 Gb Ethernet. Cisco Nexus 4001I Switch Module for IBM BladeCenterThis next-generation 10 Gb switch from Cisco is part of the Nexus family and offers 20 ports of 10 Gb (14 internal and 6 external) bandwidth. This switch can seamlessly integrate with your 1 Gb or 10 Gb network. Because this switch is based on the Nexus architecture, you can manage it using the same set of tools and management software used for Nexus 5000 and 7000. The innovative architecture of the Cisco Nexus 4000 simplifies data center transformation by enabling a high-performance, standards-based I/O convergence by combining LAN and SAN traffic on a single wire. The Cisco Nexus 10Gb Switch module is designed to support both 10 Gb Ethernet and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE). IBM also offers a FCoE license key for this switch that will enable this switch to work in FCoE mode. When connected to a Converged Adapter on the server, this switch can route CEE packets to an upstream FCoE switch which can then route the packets to the LAN and SAN.
