Data Center

The world of data center networks is evolving at an ever-increasing pace. Businesses are being faced with the growing complexity of scaling data center fabrics, while also ensuring the isolation and security of customer data. Fundamental to this isolation of customer traffic is network virtualization, of which Cisco has been a constant innovator.

VDI users with accelerated, GPU enhanced desktops will have a better experience and be more productive. Adding GPUs to modular, blade servers has never been simpler or quicker. X-Series protects and extends your investment with a modular form factor. You can upgrade only the components that add benefit to your business be it the CPU/server, I/O, or GPUs.

Whether it is a new VDI environment to enable remote work or being able to decommission older, slower, more power-hungry servers, a new server provides no business benefits until it is deployed and in production.

While other network providers continue to use commodity chips, Cisco has been developing custom silicon for Nexus switches since 2014. Creating our own ASIC was the only way to fully realize the promise of software-defined networking and enable advanced capabilities like network segmentation, flexible forwarding, intelligent buffering, and deep telemetry.

New trends in datacenter networking, and uncertainties on the data-dependent compression ratio, are clearly suggesting that 25G FCIP is the best approach to address remote data replication needs. Cisco MDS 9220i is what you need for your high-performance and secure SAN extension projects.

Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) is the new, power-packed, feature-rich service ( exclusively available on the Cisco Nexus Dashboard (ND). NDFC embraces a Kubernetes-based microservices architecture. With the introduction of NDFC Release 12, users get a consistent experience across NDFC and other services hosted on Nexus Dashboard including Insights and Orchestrator.

Automated provisioning of Secure ADC services using Ansible enables rapid application deployment in addition to the horizontal scaling of ADC resources during periods of peak demand.

More than ever, enterprises want the agility of a cloud-delivered service to maximize the full potential of their hybrid cloud and cloud networking investments. Cisco delivers on that ask with Nexus Cloud. With Nexus Cloud and Nexus Dashboard, our customers now have the operational tools to accelerate their digital transformation.

When designing Cisco HyperFlex we took a holistic approach that uses industry-standard, strong encryption at the component, system and cluster levels – built-in since day one.
