Event Overview:
Implementing integrated switching within a blade-based IT environment

More and more businesses are updating their IT infrastructure with blade
servers to realize cost savings with improved integration,
virtualization and automation of their IT resources. This trend is also
creating opportunities to plan and integrate network switching
capabilities within the blade infrastructure, providing a reduction in
complexity and cost while also increasing efficiencies across the data
center.

HP and Cisco have partnered to deliver a joint solution that combines
Cisco's Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module with HP BladeSystem. This
solution leverages two industry standards to provide businesses with the
flexibility and efficiencies needed to adapt to changing business
conditions.

During the eSeminar, you will learn about:

* Networking in the IT Data Center
* Rise of Blades: The broad adoption by businesses of blade
infrastructure solutions
* Integrated networking: How the blades transition is impacting
networking and its evolution for blade environments
* Integrated solution: How Cisco's switch with HP's BladeSystem can
help your organization

Join Hewlett-Packard and Cisco during this live, interactive eSeminar as
they discuss how network design evolves in a blade infrastructure while
maintaining a standards approach to connecting data center resources to
the network.
