Optimizing network performance, availability, adaptability, security, and cost is essential to achieving the maximum benefit from your infrastructure.
In this IBM Redbooks publication, we address these requirements:

Expertise to plan and design networks with holistic consideration of servers, storage, application performance, and manageability
Networking solutions that enable investment protection with performance and cost options that match your environment
Technology and expertise to design and implement and manage network security and resiliency
Robust network management software for integrated, simplified management that lowers operating costs of complex networks

IBM and Brocade have entered into an agreement to provide expanded network technology choices with the new IBM b-type Ethernet Switches and Routers, to provide an integrated end-to-end resiliency and security framework.
Combined with the IBM vast data cen
