-- Savings - Attendees will acquire tips on how to save money, power, and time by consolidating into a single converged Ethernet fabric, and will also learn how to improve system performance by upgrading to 10G with higher bandwidth and lower latency. -- Convergence and Blades - Become better acquainted with the latest updates on convergence technology and rollouts for bladed environments. Attendees will also learn how convergence can help you with existing data center struggles (eg. power, server sprawl, VM performance, cost, management integration, etc). -- New Products - Gain insight into why network convergence is relevant to bladed environments, the benefits it offers in terms of savings at the chassis level, and learn about some newly released products which deliver upon the converged network vision. -- I/O Virtualization - With data centers rapidly adopting server virtualization in the pursuit of increased utilization, efficiency and manageability, server I/O has become a critical bottleneck. Attendees will learn how I/O virtualization solves the I/O bottleneck problems by lowering the I/O costs and power consumption and by speeding the migration towards converged networks.The webinar format features a panel discussion where attendees will be able to ask questions of the subject matter experts. Subsequent webinars will take place in regular intervals. Upcoming topics will include storage consolidation, as well as an update on network convergence rollout.
