HP simplifies networking

HP has announced new high-performance network solutions that expand the
portfolio to enable the company's converged infrastructure strategy by
delivering simplified server connectivity. The new offerings, which include a
new Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) module for the high-performance HP A5820
datacenter switch (H3C S5820x), are designed to improve application
availability. It also increase deployment flexibility and lower the overall cost
of ownership (TCO) of the network infrastructure. These additions bring enhanced
server edge technology to HP's FlexFabric high performance, flexible and secure
datacenter networking fabric for a Converged Infrastructure.

"Traditional datacenter networks are rigid, complex and expensive. As such,
they are unable to keep pace with the increasing use of server virtualization
and rapid changes in business demands," said Subhodeep Bhattacharya, Country
Manager-HP Networking, HP India.
