The Cisco/Dell solutions should offer customers some significant strategic benefits. Transitioning to unified network fabrics, which support highly flexible data transport options, can help organizations enhance business process continuity and datacenter scalability, critical issues at a time when companies of every size need to ensure they are getting the most out of their long term IT and business investments. Overall, by simplifying the pooling of servers, storage and networking resources via a unified network fabric, Cisco and Dell should help companies enhance both the incremental value of individual IT assets and their datacenters as a whole. That is good business by any definition.
