Key Benefits of Unified Fabric
Reduce overall DC power consumption by up to 8%.
Extend the lifecycle of current data center.
Wire hosts once to connect to any network - SAN,
LAN, HPC. Faster rollout of new apps and services.
Every host will be able to mount any storage target.
Drive storage consolidation and improve utilization.
Rack, Row, and X-Data Center VM portability become
possible.

Adopting VFrame DC Today
Addressing Today’s Challenges while Building SOI Foundation
1.
Categorize physical resources into service views
2.
Ensure design consistency with standardized infrastructure templates
3.
Automate physical provisioning for server virtualization environments
4.
Reduce break-fix server support costs with rapid recovery from shared pool
5.
Recover failed service with rapid local disaster recovery
6.
