10Gb CNAs for IBM System x

Converged Networking Technologies significantly reduce TCO with smaller storage footprint, lower cooling, lower power and simplified management

Feature	Benefits
Lower CAPEX with hardware consolidation and simplified cabling infrastructure	Up to 40% reduction in Interconnect costs due to convergence of LAN and SAN traffic Savings from cabling and optical components alone can pay for additional servers Higher utilization of datacenter space: Fewer switches & cables per rack
Lower OPEX due to reduced power and cooling cost	Up to 40% savings in power and cooling due to consolidation of adapters and switches
End–to–end management	Unified management tools provide a single point of manageability from adapter to switch across LAN and SAN
Investment protection	Seamlessly integrates with existing LAN and SAN infrastructure
