This story is more than just about gaining energy efficiency by reducing the amount of network hardware. Rather, its all about using (and re-purposing) compute hardware more effectively. In turn, infrastructure orchestration (the "fabric") is the way to provide a logical way to create or re-configure I/O, network and storage.

PAN Manager is the "secret sauce" Egenera has been using to manage its own hardware for years, and recently OEMd to Dell as part of their Dell PAN System. That means that Egeneras own hardware -- as well as Dell Blades -- not only operates with a " unified computing " architecture (as some would call it!),

It allows IT operations to define I/O, storage connectivity and networking entirely in software, resulting in stateless and re-configurable CPUs. It permits IT to "wire-once" and then create CPU configurations (virtual NICs, HBAs, networks/VLANs, storage connections) using a unified/consolidated networking fabric. Big Data. (6).
