| Cloud & Virtualization, Data Center, Mobile, White Papers

Mobile, cloud, Big Data, and social are placing new demands on data center networks.

Server virtualization and cloud computing have improved agility. Now, the network infrastructure must adapt. Ethernet fabrics, part of the architecture of the New IP, can pave the way to SDN.

As a result, IT can transform from guardians of technology to strategic enablers of business success.
