HP FlexFabric Networks: Virtualized, wired-one, network fabric

This is 9 minutes of nothing. You're wasting your money.

Thx for HP as it announces support for Unified Fabric 2 years after Cisco has been shipping platforms that offer Unified Fabric

@hatemfree123 Right because we all have plenty of money to throw away the Catalyst and MDS/Brocade switches we already own and start buying Nexus gear.

But wait, there's more!

Cisco still has to breakout the FCoE fabric at the 6xxx Fabric Interconnect layer and split Ethernet and FC traffic. Its the same design as FlexFabric but moves the Interconnect to the top of rack. Some say UCS scales better to include more blades. But their scaling also increases oversubscription.
