Conclusion
The advent of Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders has enabled customers to benefit from both top-of-rack
(ToR) and end-of-row (EoR) designs. This technology achieves these benefits while reducing the costs
associated with cabling and cooling in EoR models and without introducing any additional management points, in
contrast to traditional ToR designs. This unique architecture has been tremendously successful in the first
generation of Cisco Nexus fabric extenders and rack-mount servers.

generation of Cisco Nexus fabric extenders and rack-mount servers.
The Cisco Nexus B22 for IBM Blade Fabric Extender brings these innovations to third-party blade server chassis
and offers unified fabric with FCoE deployments for blade server chassis. This solution brings Cisco networking
innovations to the server access layer from rack-mount servers using Cisco Nexus 2000 Series Fabric Extenders
into third-party blade chassis.
