Cisco Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3120 for HP Information Guide
Customer Case Study
Data Center Footprint Savings—Power, Cooling and Cabling Savings
“For space saving, if I were trying to get EtherChannel at the core and running four cables per
switch back to the core, it would require a significant number of cables that would ultimately require
a patch farm. With the ability to fit four of the Catalyst Blade Switches into a 42U rack, we are
talking about incredible reduction in rack space and ultimately data center space. This in turn
results in power and cooling savings as well.”
