The Force10 purpose-built data center ecosystem allows customers to use their own evaluation criteria to deploy the network services that best suit their requirements.
“To transform the network into a strategic asset, it is essential that the network and services can be optimized for specific customer requirements,” said Stephen Garrison, vice president of marketing at Force10 Networks. “By improving the interoperability between the network and network-based services like storage or computing, the Force10 purpose-built data center ecosystem provides customers with proven solutions to meet their business needs.”
To build truly reliable data center networks that are application ready and can provide long-term investment protection, it is essential to optimize the network for specific business requirements. The Force10 purpose-built data center ecosystem enables businesses to build out their network-based services according to their specific evaluation criteria, creating a best-of-breed network that can more efficiently and flexibly respond to their needs. With proven interoperability throughout the ecosystem, Force10 and its partners not only provide purpose-built data center solutions but also eliminate the uncertainty of deploying a best-of-breed solution.
