Egenera announced a new version of Dell PAN System and PAN Manager Software today that greatly expands the scalability of PAN Manager on a number of fronts. PAN Manager can now manage more blades on a single converged fabric , more VMs, and more servers. It also increases the IO throughput, utilizing 10Gbps Ethernet uplinks, 8Gbps Fiber Channel and 20Gbps between blade chassis. As more applications go virtual, this increased scale and throughput will help customers consolidate and manage their applications. Of course, with PAN Manager, you can also manage your physical servers just as easily. Egenera continues to deliver a simplified solution that enables customers to quickly deploy and manage their applications in a secure, highly available fashion. We also provide one of the only Converged Infrastructure products on the market today. Why does that matter? Well, it's the convergence that enables you to reduce or eliminate hardware such as NICs and HBAs. That results in lower costs and also reduces the chances of failure. Converge, Unify, Simplify.  That is a message that you'll be hearing a lot from Egenera. We are the only heterogeneous vendor on the market today that provides a Converged Infrastructure on multiple hardware platforms. Today's announcement of the next version of Dell PAN System is a major step forward in our strategy to deliver PAN everywhere.
