Enterprises are highly dependent on their data center's efficiency and application performance to improve employee productivity, reduce operational costs, and increase revenue. To achieve these objectives, virtualization, simplification, and consolidation are the three most crucial initiatives for enterprises. These objectives demand high-performance server and networking technologies as well as increased integration between the two to achieve optimal performance. Hence, the proper integration of server and simplified networking infrastructure is pivotal.

Data center networking vendors are focusing on delivering best-in-class dynamic network infrastructure that can help to consolidate applications and servers and virtualizes its system resources along with improving overall performance, availability, and energy efficiency, thereby providing a more flexible and dynamic Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. Today's data center networking infrastructure solution is based on open standards. It optimizes performance and enables consolidation which in turn increases network scalability and resiliency, simplifies operations and streamlines management along with lowering the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This solution also automates the network infrastructure management, making existing infrastructure easily adaptable and flexible, especially for cloud service providers, for third party application deployments.
