IBM has launched the IBM Virtual Fabric Architecture, which is new set of interconnect technologies and management tools for the BladeCenter H system. This new offering is here to help increase speed and efficiency of data transfer across blade servers and networks.

The explosion of new consumer technologies such as Web 2.0, IPTV, and online gaming, and business technologies such as quad-core processing and virtualization, are driving the need for high bandwidth interconnect technologies to move data traffic across high capacity networks.

IBM offers the widest range of networking and storage switches than any other blade vendor, and has shipped more than two million one-Gigabit Ethernet ports to date.
