Unified computing

• Stateless computing model

• Network/storage/server policies centrally defined & deployed

• Centralize management of blades & rack servers

• Apply same server profiles blade or rack servers

• Centralized firmware deployment• Reduce port costs by consolidating uplink data & management

traffic

Entry Point to Unified Computing• Lower initial price point than blades• Supports all generation platforms• Industry-leading Adapter FEX and VM FEX technology

Performance and innovation• Multiple World Record Performance Benchmarks

• Integrated platform management- no host agents required
