Summary

Flex-10 technology introduces a hardware-based solution to address the issue of data management
on 10GbE networks. Flex-10 increases the number of NICs in virtual machine server configurations
which reduces cost and adds flexibility. FlexNICs supply applications with the required network
bandwidth, and they are designed to be dynamically managed with all of the benefits of Virtual
Connect, plus FlexNIC fine-tuning at the server edge. Flex-10 technology allows data centers to
implement 10GbE architecture effectively without additional infrastructure costs. Flex-10 is the most
cost-effective solution for virtual machine server configurations requiring four or more NICs. Flex-10
provides significant reduction in infrastructure and power costs.
