The Unified Network Fabric addresses many challenge facing data centers on how to support the modularity and flexibility needed to promote business agility and maintain a company’s competitive edge. Zollner Group supports the development for the concept of Unified Network Fabric architecture that allows the intermixing of different rack types and I/O requirements must also support a varied set of connectivity options including Gigabit Ethernet and 10 to 100 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibernet high speed data lines.
● Support for storage devices (Fiber Channel, Small Computer System Interface [SCSI] or NAS,
FCoE, etc.)
● Support for convergence and unified fabric with growth factors incorporated
● Reliability, scalability, and redundancy
● High-capacity and high-density server access requirements
● Flexibility and expandability with easy access for moves, additions, and changes
● Migration from Gigabit Ethernet to 10 Gigabit Ethernet server connectivity with future support
for 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet
● Cabling architecture balance with power, cooling, structural loading, management, and
operations needs
