In this first episode we set the groundwork for the Fabric Connect series. We start by using a simple analogy of a trip to Paris to explain the benefits of a single protocol approach to networking and then explore the reasons why you would want to use Fabric Connect in a network. These reasons include Cost, Agility, Complexity and Security.
