virtual machines? How has VM density Retention? (Medical, Legal, Finance, TeleCo)
changed in the last three years? • Regulations apply to a wide range of companies and there
• 25G delivers better bottom line benefits and helps to are growing requirements for access of the data at
lower overhead and increase application desktops. Moving these large file will require more
performance through better efficiencies than 10G. bandwidth.
Are you embracing unified communications (IP Video streaming, production and post-production
telephone) and collaboration applications? moving to 4K or greater
• If so, higher bandwidth is required to ensure quality • Uncompressed 4K video needs 12 to 26 Gb/s of
audio and to optimize collaboration tools bandwidth per stream, 10G can’t keep pace.
Do you have tight budgets that require IT to do Are you implementing Flash and NVMe storage?
