LEGACY NETWORK
•
Separate networks for
each traffic type
•
•
LAN, SAN, HPC
Unique infrastructure
•
Server adapters
•
Fabric switches
•
Cables
•
Separate management
schemes
•
Inherently costly and
complicated

CONVERGED NETWORK SOLUTION
•
Phased deployment (no rip
& replace)
•
Continue to use existing
LAN and SAN investments
•
Protocol selection based
upon application/business
requirements
•
Single network to manage
& maintain

JUNIPER QFX 3500
 Sub-microsecond latency
 Line rate throughput for all frame sizes on all ports
 Standards-based Layer 2, Layer 3, and I/O convergence
 Supports feature-rich implementation of IEEE DCB standards for converged networks, enabling
FCoE, iSCSI and NAS deployments
 FCoE transit and FCoE-FC gateway, interoperability with both Brocade and Cisco Fibre Channel
SANs (including support for multi-hop FCoE)
 Interoperability with major CNA vendors
 It’s green, RoHSS, China RoHSS, Gold 80 Plus, Green Recycle, WEE, REACH
 QFabric ready!
Flexible all-in-one switch, deploy everywhere

KEY MESSAGE: FIELD SUCCESS
Provide a customer case study to reinforce concepts
Suggested content
 Get a customer to approve the use of their name for maximum
impact
 “Genericize” a real-world deployment if you can’t get a customer to
agree to be featured
 Include information about customer’s before/after results
 Highlight speed or ease of deployment
