Sun's new Virtual NEM (Network Express Module) is an incredibly cost efficient way to connect multiple blade servers to networks and I/O. This new approach to I/O connectivity gives you virtualized 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) I/O to the network and between Sun Blade modules in the chassis. It reduces cabling by 10:1, eliminates management and interoperability problems, and comes with a distinct cost advantage over traditional blade switches.
