We've had a few questions in our forums and blogs about when the 'official' word would come from VMware on Virtual Connect Flex-10 support. It finally made its way to the documents online over the holidays.

Page 88: 19. Supports HP's new Virtual Connect Flex-10 Technology
Our Virtual Connect team said there are more updates to the release notes coming and the details will be here. We've been talking alot with customers about the advantages of Virtual Connect Flex-10 for the past few months and here's what they liked most.
-
Quadruple the NIC ports per network connection
-
Consolidate network equipment and cut the network equip costs up to 66%
-
Faster 10Gb speeds for VM channels within an enclosure (whether you have 10Gb or not)
-
Affordable path to 10Gb when the budget allows for it
If virtual machines are on the top of your 2009 'to-do' list, don't ignore the network consolidation possible with Flex-10.
