SWITCH
To keep pace with growing business
demands, data centers are transitioning to
highly virtualized, private cloud storage
environments. This approach enables
organizations to consolidate and simplify
their IT resources, resulting in increased
business agility and lower capital and
operating expenses. But virtualization is not
without its challenges. Data centers must
keep up with the explosive data growth
and dynamic changes driven by virtualized
workloads. Selecting the right network
is key to realizing the full benefits of these
cloud-based architectures.
