The Cisco Catalyst Blade Switch 3130 for Dell M1000E allows you to mix and match 1 Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet switches, thereby offering an affordable migration path.


Offered in two configurations, these switches also use VBS technology, which treats individual physical switches within a rack as a single logical switch. Similar to server virtualization technology, VBS allows the switches to provide improved utilization, greater performance and more resilience while making operations and management easier.
