HP VC Flex-10 10Gb Ethernet module innovations−First extension of the award-

winning HP Virtual Connect architecture

−First to divide a single NIC port into four separate FlexNIC connections at full hardware performance

−First to tune each FlexNIC connection bandwidth to the needs of virtual server workloads from 100Mb to 10Gb

−First to provide 8 FlexNIC connections standard on a blade server without needing two more NIC mezz cards and 6 more switch modules

−First to support up to 24 network connections on a single server blade – 4x the competition

Removes I/O bottlenecks to host more VMs per blade at lower cost while consolidating the network


Why Virtual Connect is vital to you!Virtual Connect is foundational•Foundation for:•HP’s (and your) future data center transformation business and HP virtualization strategy – no VC means no AI•Insight Dynamics – VSE, managing physical and logical servers (no VC and ID doesn’t work and you don’t sell it)•HP BTO software•Stopping Cisco from taking your sales and margin

Losing the Virtual Connect business puts all the above at risk
