The Multi-Switch Interconnect Module (MSIM) for IBM BladeCenter is an innovative solution if you are 

looking to use additional standard form-factor switches in place of the high-speed switch bays in the 
BladeCenter H chassis. By using redundant MSIMs, you can deploy virtualization-ready solutions by 
providing up to eight Ethernet network interface cards (NICs) to each blade server in the chassis.

Figure 1 shows the MSIM.

Did you know?

Two MSIMs can be used in each BladeCenter H chassis, making it ideal for those who are looking for 

redundancy. The use of the MSIM to add four additional ports makes it ideal for application such as server 
consolidation and virtualization. 

Up to two standard form-factor switches can be supported per MSIM, for a total of eight switches in the 

BladeCenter H chassis.
