increase linearly. The other problem is that as the number of ports increase so does the number of CPU cycles required to do the TCP processing, which in turn takes away CPU cycles from each virtual machine.

must be configured adjacent to one another in interconnect bays 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8. Connecting the ports of embedded devices to the interconnect bays in the HP BladeSystem c7000 Enclosure is relatively simple. For port mapping, it does not matter in which bay a server blade is installed. The mezzanine - HP BladeSystem c7000 | ISS Technology Update, Volume 7 Number 3 - Newsletter - Page 6

Future-proof your infrastructure with 10 Gigabit networking
Until recently, ten Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) was considered to be overkill for most corporate networking infrastructures…it was
just too powerful for the average datacenter’s requirements. But advances in processing power, coupled with the emergence of
the virtualized datacenter and networked storage, are driving the need for increased I/O bandwidth, making 10GbE more
attractive. In response to this trend, 10GbE networking solutions from HP are leading the way with solutions for existing ProLiant
servers, as presented in this article.
Scale up and scale out
Datacenters and large businesses are evaluating and sometimes installing 10GbE infrastructure. Looking ahead, IT
organizations will need to continually improve effectiveness, enhance scalability, and accommodate increasing performance
needs
⎯
while at the same time consolidating their datacenter infrastructure. As datacenters move toward next generation
architectures, the importance of 10GbE products, such as high-performance switches and multiple-use or multifunction network
adapters, will keep growing.
