Which technology does the HP Virtual Connect support?
A.
InfiniBand connection to server backplane
B.
Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) V
C.
Distributed trunking
D.
Intelligent Resilient Framework (IRF)
Explanation:
Virtual Connect interconnect modules provide the following capabilities:
• Reduces the number of cables required for an enclosure, compared to using pass-thru modules.
• Reduces the number of edge switches that LAN and SAN administrators must manage.
• Allows pre-provisioning of the network, so server administrators can add, replace, or upgrade
servers without requiring immediate involvement from the LAN or SAN administrators.
• Enables a flatter, less hierarchical network, which reduces equipment and administration costs,
reduces latency, and improves performance.
• Delivers direct server-to-server connectivity within the BladeSystem enclosure. This is an ideal
way to optimize for east/west traffic flow, which is becoming more prevalent at the server edge
with the growth of server virtualization, cloud computing, and distributed applications.
