HP’s approach to networking is focused on driving innovation that reduces complexity, delivers breakthrough
economic benefits, and empowers customers to deploy the network as a business enabler. HP’s Converged
Infrastructure Architecture and FlexFabric blueprint for a data center interconnect enable the predictable
performance, high availability, and comprehensive management needed to support large-scale virtualization
and convergence implementations and a spectrum of IT deployment models—including cloud computing, Web
hosting, and managed services.

FlexFabric: the network foundation
for a converged infrastructure
FlexFabric is HP’s vision for a next-generation, highly scalable data center network. This architecture
radically streamlines deployment and management and drives end-to-end data center agility through
advanced technology, simplified network designs, and tightly integrated management. FlexFabric connects
servers to a virtualized, high-performance, low-latency interconnect that consolidates multiple protocols to
dramatically reduce network complexity and cost. This unique, wire-once approach enables Ethernet and
storage networks to be combined into one converged fabric that can easily scale and adapt to changing
workloads. Combining intelligence at the server edge with advanced FlexFabric management tools, FlexFabric
enables virtualization-aware networking; predictable performance; and rapid, secure, business-enabling
provisioning of data center resources.

“If you have switches with adequate capacity and you’ve got the right ratio of input
ports to trunks, you don’t need the aggregation layer, which provides marginal value
at best. You can avoid a lot of complexity, cost, and extra heat while simplifying
design and troubleshooting.”
