Redening fabric economics

Recent internal analysis demonstrated that Dell Active Fabric architectures aremore cost-eective and space-saving compared to the traditional modular CiscoNexus chassis. The Active Fabric design delivers the same throughput density,saving up to 79% less power, up to 68% less space, and up to 59% less costs over(Chart shows one Cisco Nexus 7010 chassis with ve F248XP line cards combined with eight Nexus 5596switches for a total of 384 ports of 10GbE compared to eight Dell S4810 switches and two Dell Z9000 switchproviding the same exact throughput capacity.)
