IBM Virtual fabric is a fast, flexible, reliable I/O solution that helps reduce cost and complexity in both virtualized and non-virtualized environments.

• Virtual:Multiple virtual ports (Ethernet) from a single physical port

• Performance:Fast line-rate 10Gb performance

• Scalability:Define exact number of ports needed (from 2 to 8 per adapter)

• Flexibility:Each virtual port operates anywhere between 100Mb and 10Gb

• Reliability:Intelligent Failure Monitoring to enable automatic failover between physical or virtual ports
