RackSwitch G8264CS 17
Leveraging a BladeCenter environment
Figure 8 shows an example of how a client can use a BladeCenter environment. The client reduces costs
inside the chassis with a single adapter in the blade, with a 10-Gb Ethernet adapter only in the chassis.
The client can use the G8264CS at the top of the rack or somewhere else in the data center, breaking out
the FC connections and connecting to the existing SAN switches, and then to the storage devices.
