Virtualization is changing the focus
Applications no longer tied to server hardware
Applications are now objects moving through the network
The data center needs to evolve
Computing and networking have to change
Data must to be accessible, distributed and protected
Management needs to be native, not an after-thought
We are leading Data Center innovation
Unified Fabrics, Unifed Network Services, Unified
Computing, Unified Storage, Virtualization, Open
Management
We have a Proven Track Record
Network, Storage, Virtualization we are market makers!
