5 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise LAN IBM IBM re-entered the LAN switching Magic Quadrant with its purchase of BNT in late BNT was founded to provide switch technologies for the emerging blade server market. With growing success with partners such as IBM and HP, BNT broadened the portfolio to include ToR switching for a more complete server access portfolio. An increasing amount of BNT business was with IBM, so the acquisition made sense for both parties. Strengths IBM has a comprehensive line of blade server switches, as well as ToR switch options running at 1/10/40G. The offering provides strong capabilities to deal with virtual environments through BNT's VMready software, which allows visibility and control down to the individual virtual machine (VM) level. IBM has extensive experience designing and operating complex data center networks. Owning part of the technical solution will allow it to expand capabilities for server access. we are also seeing vendor specialization to provide differentiation in specific segments, including the emergence of data-center-focused vendors the most obvious and successful to date has been Blade Network Technologies (BNT; evaluated in this research after its acquisition by IBM), which has expanded its portfolio to include top-of-rack (ToR) switches. Cautions While the BNT solution is a strong one, it only represents part of a data center networking solution. IBM has been absent from the networking hardware market for more than a decade (it sold off its hardware business to Cisco in 1999), and therefore lacked networking expertise within the IBM hardware organization. It is not completely clear what IBM's complete networking strategy is at this stage, and sorting out various IBM-owned products, OEM products from the likes of Brocade and Juniper and long-standing integration partnerships with Cisco and others will not be easy for IBM or its channels until it provides a more complete strategic direction.

Financial & Insurance Sector: Proximity trading, HFT, Colo, Risk Analysis High-Performance Computing: University, research sector, Automobile Telco & Cloud Provider: IPTV, Streaming content, hosting services Server Virtualization projects: General IT, 20+ servers vnic: General IT, reducing cabling, 50+ servers STORAGE NETWORKING IP NAS: iscsi, NFS 1/10GE connections FCoE: Switching fabric convergence IP Backup solutions, 6
7 IT Concerns IBM System Networking - Bringing speed and intelligence to the edge of the network Today clients have separate networks for each type of Traffic Ethernet for the LAN Fiber Channel for the SAN Infiniband in some cases for the HPC These Networks are Extremely expensive Hardware costs Separate Server adapters Separate Fabric switches Separate Cabling Large power draw Complex to Manage LAN SAN HPC Servers Fabrics Targets 7
8 95% >25% IBM System Networking - Bringing speed and intelligence to the edge of the network Traffic pattern is the KEY Campus Data Center Typically about 95% of traffic from the PC s are directed outside the Campus Network. Only a small amount is going peer to peer. 5% In Data Centers there is a huge amount of transfers between servers because of multi tier architecture and VM Motion up to 75% 8
9 Five IT trends reshaping Data Center Networks GW North/ South East/ West #3 Distributed Apps -» low-latency switching IBM: Up to 11.5 times lower latency #2 VM mobility FC SAN -» flatter, VM-aware, networks IBM: VMready #4 Convergence -» lossless Ethernet IBM: All 10Gb switches support lossless Ethernet #5 Energy constraints -» Energy Efficiency ( Green ) IBM: Up to 71% less power consumption, and choice of air flow #1 Sys Virtualization -» network congestion IBM: 1, 10, and 40Gb switches *Up to 84% better Price/Performance 9
10 Ethernet Storage High level view Lossless Ethernet iscsi The Trend is Clearly Toward Converging Storage over Ethernet (by 2014 ~70% of all non-das Server FCoE Ports will be Ethernet). Source IDC Oct 2010 CIFS NAS NFS NAS Gateways Fibre Channel FC Arrays 10
11 IBM/BNT Virtual Fabric - supporting FCoE Servers are connected with a unique switching fabric: 10GE Storage traffic (Fiber Channel, iscsi, NFS, etc.) is carried over the lossless Ethernet capabilities of the G8124/G8264 Ethernet traffic is sent to the LAN, Fiber Channel storage traffic is send to the SAN SAN Fibre Channel Ethernet IBM BNT RackSwitch Fibre Channel Traffic LAN Ethernet A surprising number of enterprises today have Ethernet only data centers. iscsi storage is one of the fastest grow areas in the storage Market. FCoE will be the primary alternative to FC as a storage network fabric. Dell Oro

27 Breaking free of the Single Vendor Network Gartner Group Debunk the Myth of the single vendor network Introducing a 2 nd networking vendor will reduce TCO for most organization by at least 15-25% over 5 years Equipment cost premium that Cisco generally charges does not tend to off-set potential operating cost savings. Morgan Stanley: BNT s products to be the most effective for our purposes We have found IBM BNT s products to be the most effective for our purposes with a combination of performance and cost that are hard to match. For our company, this is the first use of a multi- vendor strategy, and we have been able to build out infrastructure in a more cost-efficient manner. Robert VanCaneghem Morgan Stanley Executive Director 27 Interoperability Tolly Group actually does Interoperability certifications Layer2/3 Support Cisco Proprietary protocols: Giga/Fast/EtherChannel, PVST+, MIST, PortFast, UplinkFast, TACACS+, etc. Easing the transition for administrators All IBM BNT products offer a Cisco-like Command Line Interface (CLI) Web GUI, BLADEOS CLI, BLADE Harmony Manager, IBM Director, etc.
