Converging networks and condensing server footprints have been major trends in computing for the last several years. Examples of this range from protocols like Fiber Channel of Ethernet (FCoE) to blade centers to interconnect technologies like HP’s Virtual Connect. In the blade world, shared interconnects have changed how connectivity is defined to a blade chassis [...]

Virtual Connect allows for fewer physical connections to be shared and flexibly assigned to blades within an HP BladeSystem. I have been using this technology for [...]
