662048-B21 Use Case
Data Center Network Consolidation with 662048-B21-VC FLEX-10/10D ENT EDN OPT PL=UZ
Enterprises deploy the 662048-B21-VC FLEX-10/10D ENT EDN OPT PL=UZ Virtual Connect FlexFabric module to converge LAN, SAN and management traffic over a single 10Gb infrastructure. In a mid-sized data center, IT operators eliminate separate NICs and HBAs by mapping up to four Flex-10 networks per port, automating VLAN and SAN zoning via the Enterprise Edition. Outcome: 50% fewer physical adapters, 70% faster server provisioning, and a 30% reduction in rack space and cabling complexity.
Multi-Tenant Cloud Services with Secure FlexFabric Partitioning
Cloud service providers integrate the 662048-B21-VC FLEX-10/10D ENT EDN OPT PL=UZ into blade enclosures to deliver isolated 10Gb Flex-10 channels for each tenant. Using Virtual Connect Enterprise Edition, providers create on-demand network slices with dedicated bandwidth, enforce per-tenant QoS, and automate VLAN segmentation. Outcome: secure multi-tenant isolation, 30% faster tenant onboarding, and guaranteed network SLAs without manual switch configuration.
High-Performance Computing and Big Data Analytics Interconnect
Research labs and financial institutions leverage the 662048-B21-VC FLEX-10/10D ENT EDN OPT PL=UZ to optimize intra-cluster traffic for HPC and Hadoop workloads. The module’s 10Gb FlexFabric channels deliver low-latency, high-throughput links between compute nodes and storage arrays, while Virtual Connect’s policy-driven provisioning streamlines network changes. Outcome: 40% reduction in job completion times, linear scaling to hundreds of nodes, and consistent network performance under peak loads.
