The Cisco VN-Link technology (Virtual Network Link) allowing to save network settings regardless of the equipment is the cornerstone of the solution.

Actually new solution will virtualize the network traffic generated by the started operating system. Cisco says that VN-Link allows to save connection in usage time of a system of migration of VMware Vmotion. From the technical point of view in a case with VN-Link all traffic goes via the virtual interface.

According to specialists, especially useful such approach for themselves will be found by users of virtaulny storage systems (Virtual SAN).

New equipment rooms the solution in 24-and 48 port options, with peak throughput of 24 Gbit/sec. are delivered, and the coefficient of traffic transmission can be varied and distributed on ports depending on specific needs.
