Direct Attach: Reducing Network Tiers

Today’s hypervisors utilise an internal “virtual switch” which facilitates communications between virtual machines (VMs) within a server and between those VMs and the rest of the network. This virtual switch adds a fourth tier to the network infrastructure. Extreme Networks Direct Attach™ eliminates the virtual switch layer, simplifying the network and improving performance.
