Rack-optimized server aggregation : 10-GbE attached rack servers
Aggregation and servers are as follows:

Concentration of rack-optimized servers, for example:

IBM 1U or 2U servers with a 10G adapter installed

IBM BladeCenter

®

 using any of the following modules in the chassis:

IBM BladeCenter 1/10Gb Uplink Ethernet Switch Module

IBM BladeCenter Virtual Fabric 10Gb Switch Module

10Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Module for IBM BladeCenter

IBM Flex System

 using any of the following Ethernet modules in the chassis:

IBM Flex System EN2092

IBM Flex System Fabric EN4093/EN4093R

Low-profile, high-performance, 24-port 10-GbE switch needed to perform aggregation function per 

rack
