Processor magazine covers new HDS 10 network switch enclosure:
Data center professionals often struggle with the challenges of providing adequate cooling for enterprise-class network switches without giving up precious floor space in their data centers. In fact, a typical enclosure for this class of switch often requires a large footprint to aid airflow for cooling. Data center trends such as the use of FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), I/O virtualization, and unified infrastructures are driving the need for higher-density switches that have increasing heat loads. And then there is the problem of dealing with side-breathing network switches in an otherwise front-to-back data center configuration.
