Blades have made inroads into enterprise data centers by delivering higher density with a lower footprint and reduced costs for power and cooling. Now with multicore environments, there is an increased need for 10 Gb Ethernet to move deeper into the access layer. BladeCenter already has the ability to provide 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity to the chassis. With this announcement, IBM delivers 10 Gb Ethernet connectivity to the blade.

The Nortel 10 Gb Ethernet Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter is a switch option especially designed for the next-generation IBM BladeCenter chassis that enables administrators to provide full Layer 2/3 10 Gb LAN switching and routing capabilities to each server within a BladeCenter chassis. Such consolidation flattens the topology of the data center infrastructure through convergence of storage and data networks, thus reducing the number of discrete devices, management consoles, and different management systems.
