IBM BladeCenter 1/10Gb Uplink Ethernet Switch Module

Feature	Benefits
1 GbE and 10 GbE	Easy deployment into 1 GbE networks Easy migration path to 10 GbE
Stacking	A single switch image and configuration file can be used for up to eight switches, sharing only one IP address and one management interface. Switches in a stack can be auto-discovered.
VMready® network virtualization	A VMready network switch sees virtualized network interface cards (vNICs) and servers VMready enables configuration and application of network policies to each virtual server VMready can help reduce the configuration complexity and the potential for failures, and improve security. Virtual machines (VMs) are configured only once, keeping their network attributes no matter where they move in the stack once they are configured, eliminating any on-going administrative burden.
