IBM Geo Roadshow – System Networking

IBM System Networking - Overview

� Mission:

� Help IBM deliver on the promise of the best “Systems Company” by providing the best server-to-server, server-to-storage, storage-to-storage, and system-to-system connectivity.

� Multi-protocol:

� Ethernet – IBM engineered and designed in over half of Fortune 500

� FCoE – IBM innovations

� Fibre Channel – External Offerings – OEM relationships

* 4Q 2012

� Multiple form factors based on standards and simple integration into existing networks

� Soft switches – VMware today – more to come

� Embedded connectivity or Layer 2/3

� Top-of-Rack (access & aggregation switches)

� Software Defined Networking
