Overview
Does your data center have the capability to support current and future server, storage, networking, and management technologies? This white paper reviews a modular server enclosure that incorporates the latest advances in power, cooling, I/O, and management technologies. Learn how you can scale your environment for the future and benefit from the following features:

• Redundant and hot-pluggable components for maximum uptime
• Identical and symmetric fabric options B and C for each modular server
• Ethernet I/O switches that provide external I/O flexibility of stacking ports
• A high speed passive midplane that connects the server modules in the front and power, I/O, and management infrastructure in the rear of the enclosure
