26-port 10GbE Switch Advantages in Blade Servers – With multicore processors and virtualization pushing blade-server performance to unprecedented levels, I/O performance must catch up — but without increasing cost per port or power consumption. The only way to meet this goal is to use more highly integrated network switch chips that provide higher throughput per port.

Realizing High-Port-Density 10-GbE Networks – Next-generation switches need high port densities to handle intense growth in data-center traffic, yet even the most highly integrated switch chips cannot provide enough ports in a single chip. By taking advantage of available network topologies, however, developers can implement switches with densities of 32, 48 or more ports that provide highly efficient, scalable interconnects between servers and computing clusters.

Essential Ethernet Switch Features for Data Centers -
Congestion management, priority PAUSE, and other capabilities in the Fujitsu MB86C69RBC switch chip – As today’s trends drive the demand for increasing bandwidth in data centers, Ethernet switches must respond with the ability to use the available bandwidth effectively. Congestion management is particularly important, along with advanced quality-of-service (QoS) features that enable the switches to maximize throughput for priority traffic. This technology backgrounder profiles the capabilities of the Fujitsu MB86C69RBC Ethernet switch chip with a focus on data center requirements. To understand why these capabilities are vital, it is useful to begin with an overview of data center trends.
