Title: Do more without the core on a G8264 (A313-086)

The Offer

Gartner says that by 2014 80% of data centre traffic will be server-to-server.

Why should you be paying for a core switch that isn’t serving your data centre needs or paying to upgrade aspects of your data centre that don’t deliver you value for money?

Get outstanding performance, lower latency and reduced power costs in your network with IBM System Networking.

While some vendors begin to talk 10Gb Ethernet, 40Gb is here and ready today. We want to make it available to you at 10Gb prices.
