A Blade ServerBefore we dive into the details of the IBM - Cisco 20 Ports Nexus 4001i Switch Module, it's important to understand what a blade server is. A blade server is a server chassis that houses multiple thin, modular electronic circuit boards, or server blades. Each server blade is essentially a self-contained server that includes CPUs, memory, storage, and network connectivity. Blade servers are designed to be highly scalable and are typically used in data centers where space is at a premium. Because blade servers are so compact, they allow data centers to pack more computing power into less space than traditional rack-mounted servers.
The IBM - Cisco 20 Ports Nexus 4001i Switch ModuleThe IBM - Cisco 20 Ports Nexus 4001i Switch Module is a networking solution designed specifically for blade servers. This switch module provides twenty 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and two 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, allowing you to connect multiple blade servers together in a high-speed, low-latency network. The Nexus 4001i switch module is designed to integrate seamlessly with IBM BladeCenter and Cisco Nexus switches, allowing you to manage your entire data center network from a single management console. This integration also makes it easy to configure the switch module to meet the unique needs of your data center.
