Cisco Launches FabricPath Switching System For Scalable Data Center Ethernet Fabrics
Massively scalable data centers have unique requirements such as low latency, high performance, non-stop operation, simplicity of design, workload mobility and storage transport support. To address these requirements Cisco launched FabricPath, which is a scalable multi-link and multipath technology allowing 2 to 48 Nexus 7000s to be configured in a large, non-blocking Ethernet switch fabric. This fabric, called a FabricPath Switching System or FSS, eliminates oversubscription and creates a two-tier fabric. In addition to FabricPath, Cisco launched its’ F-Series 10GbE module for the Nexus 7000, which offers 32 ports of auto-sensing 1/10GbE targeted at server access, aggregation and FCoE implementations solutions. Craig Griffin, Senior Director of Product Management for Cisco’s Nexus 7000 discusses new Ethernet innovations for the age of massively scalable data centers.
A white paper on the topic is available here:

Have you ever thought of including videos with your site articles to keep the visitors even more interested? I mean I just read through the entire content of yours and it was pretty fantastic but since I am more of a visual learner, I found that way to be much more useful. well, let me know what you feel.

Hi Ralph
We’re kicking off a vidcasat this fall. You can see one short video clip on this subject here: http://lippisreport.com/2010/07/nicks-take-on-tier-2-vs-tier-3-data-center-network-fabric/
Let me know what you think would work best for the audience i.e., length of time, graphics or not, interviews and/or short presos, etc.
thanks for the ideas.
Nick
