Networking


The Problem:Blade to blade communication flows north- south through the TOR, causing latency from request / response traffic. Added network latency will impact the overall workload the servers can support.

Network Switching and Why it MattersNetwork Switching and Why it Matters

Nexus 6100

Cisco UCS

Communication between blades requires traffic to Nexus 6100

The PureFlex Difference:Do more with your servers and reduce network delays. Node to Node communication happens within the chassis.

Why this matters:Reduces switch latencyAdditional servers needed to overcome

performance loss in network delaysLow latency, web-serving, and database

apps create significant server to server chatter and stress on the network

Communication is contained

within chassis running at 10GB
