Does the “multi-homing” referred in your statement  mean that each sever have multiple uplinks (say dual) to different ToR switches in data center? Is it more common than the single uplink in Data Center environment?

I think we are just simply saying that multi-homing should be a native architectural element regardless to which network you attach to.
