People who have followed my writing at EqualLogic, Dell and now here at 3PAR know that I haven't been a big believer in unified fabric. But, over time I'm starting to think there are good reasons for customers to consider moving to unified fabric.
This post by Richard Jones at the Burton Group has some interesting insights into the dynamics of decisions and deployments of unified fabric.
Here is a taste:
I’ve
noticed a few organizations just starting to warm up to the ideas of a
unified fabric. Have they moved there yet? No. The technologies are
not mature enough to complete an entire unified fabric infrastructure.
Cisco knows this and is positioning the Nexus switch capabilities as a
future proofing move.
Worth popping over for the short read.
