Dell Ml6010 Direct To Fibre?

My company is curious if the Dell ML6010 fibre connections can be directly attached to the server it is intending to backup.  We have a commvault systems and it would be directly attached to the media agent via fibre.  Could you please answer asap?

You can connect the ML6000 directly to a server via a fibre connection. The only thing you will need to keep in mind is that you will need one of the supported Fibre cards. If you look at the following link on pg 10 it has a chart that shows all the different Fibre cards and what servers they are supported with.
