Cisco® today introduced innovative new solutions that continue to help customers realize the Cisco Data Center 3.0 vision for next-generation data centers. The culmination of this is the introduction of the network platform for Data Center 3.0, the Cisco Nexus® Family of data-center-class switches, and the expansion of the Cisco Catalyst® Family. This new infrastructure is the next step in helping customers to design and build data center architectures that meet the stringent operational continuity, transport flexibility and scalability requirements of the next-generation data center.
"With its Data Center 3.0 vision, Cisco is transforming the data center into a virtualized environment that revolutionizes how organizations adopt new IT strategies and respond quickly to changing business needs," said Jayshree Ullal, senior vice president of Cisco's Data Center, Switching and Services Group. "The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series is the result of significant and pioneering internal innovation. Combined with the 10-Gigabit Ethernet portfolio that the flagship Catalyst 6500 Series offers, Cisco provides customers with a smooth migration into a new era of data center networking."
Today's new offerings build on Cisco's data center switch market share leadership, more than 15 years of Catalyst switch innovation and an architectural approach specifically designed to unify all components of the data center. Over the next 18 months, Cisco will continue to invest in its data center efforts by adding significant new products and capabilities to help customers architect next-generation data centers.
