This story is more than just about gaining energy efficiency by reducing the amount of network hardware. Rather, its all about using (and re-purposing) compute hardware more effectively. In turn, infrastructure orchestration (the "fabric") is the way to provide a logical way to create or re-configure I/O, network and storage.
