“Data centers are getting bigger and there is increased pressure to drive higher efficiency in smaller footprint and also power consumption to be reduced while operating these large facilities. Not only that, I think current technologies are not able to scale rapidly and provide that level of segmentation that is required in these data centers. One of the challenges businesses face is that the traffic within the data centers literally doubles every three years and to keep up with this, we need a solution that is scalable and high speed without impacting the latency of the business applications.”
