Green, Speed and RAS, Dynamics Demanding Transformation in the Data Center

David Clark, Senior Product Marketing Manager, QLogic Corporation

To plan for and meet the ever-growing demands on the data center, IT professionals must deploy a scalable architecture that meets the minimum business attributes of the new data center: to become green, additional performance in meeting enhanced applications, aggregation (virtualization and blade servers), and increased RAS (reliability, availability and serviceability).  

As a result of participating in this session, attendees will be able to:  

• Determine how "Cool 8Gb HBA Technology" can reduce power and a green environment in the data center
  
• Assess why deploying 8Gb Fibre Channel technology will provide the "need for speed" to meet the ever-growing demands of killer apps and virtualized servers
  
• Provide backwards compatibility with the current technology that meets ROI and maintains reliability, availability and serviceability to the data center
