Today, Paul and I deployed the first real 10GE switch in the Data Center.
We have 10GE at the core, and to most of the MDFs, but this is the first “edge” switch with 10GE.
VDI and the NetApps will converge in this switch, with the hopeful goal that they can communicate with each other and the core at 10-20GE.
That’ll take some load off of the Core and the 3750’s … and hopefully decrease the boot time for VDI images.
If we can improve performance enough, some desktops can probably be replaced with Wyse thinclients …
It’s exciting, and we have some performance metrics to take, and write up a case study with NetApp.
