Networking Options (with 10, 25, or 40GbE Data Switches)

Standard configurations include two types of Ethernet switches – one for consolidation of management/IPMI traffic and another for use in networking data traffic. The management switch is common to all storage options. The data switch options range from a 10Gbps switch (for “Balanced” option), to a 25Gbps switch (for the “High-Performance” option) and a 40Gbps switch (for the “All-Flash” option).
