IBM System Networking RackSwitch
Connecting Servers, Storage and Networks
Data centres can standardise on a unified and affordable rack-level, or top of rack, network infrastructure to provision and scale out Web 2.0 environments, high-performance clusters and virtualised data centres. IBM's Ethernet RackSwitch family is designed to bring speed and intelligence to the edge of your network; where it's closer to your business, users and innovations. IBM's top of rack products are lossless, low latency and low power.
The IBM BNT RackSwitch G8000 is a top of rack switch specifically designed for the data centre. It combines great performance, server-like airflow for cooling and low power consumption in a virtualisation-ready package available at an attractive price.

I/O virtualisation
IBM Virtual fabric is a fast, flexible, reliable I/O solution that helps reduce cost and complexity in both virtualised and non-virtualised 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 |
