Twenty years ago, Cisco started shipping the Cisco MDS 9000 storage networking switches. Since then, Cisco has introduced a number of groundbreaking storage networking innovations like Nexus switching and management technologies. These innovations have benefited our customers for decades now and have advanced the storage networking industry at large.
The Cisco HyperFlex Data Platform (HXDP) is a distributed hyperconverged infrastructure system that has been built from inception to handle individual component failures across the spectrum of hardware elements without interruption in services. As a result, the system is highly available and capable of extensive failure handling.
In January 2023, we launched the third major release (12.1.2) of NDFC SAN Controller. This makes the perfect time to upgrade from DCNM to NDFC not just because three is a magic number, but also because of ten reasons that I am sharing in this post.
Endpoint Security Groups (ESGs) are the new network security component in Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) which offer an alternate way of handling segmentation with the added flexibility of decoupling the earlier concepts of forwarding and security associated with Endpoint Groups (EPGs).
Cisco simplifies the purchase and procure processes for Intersight, consolidating licensing, each with a suite of functionality, making it easier to select the right tier for your businesses, plus a new offer that simplifies and accelerates deployment of more energy-efficient computing systems and operations in one convenient bundle.
Cisco HyperFlex Edge, is designed for edge locations and can be managed centrally. The platform has accelerated server deployments from minutes to days, improved technology redundancy and resiliency, and future growth and innovation.
With speed and agility becoming increasingly paramount in the business world, it’s no wonder why many companies have shifted some or all of their IT resources to the cloud.
Speed and agility can’t come at the expense of security or assurance, of course, especially for a highly regulated financial institution. That’s why ACI – with validated designs, built-in automation, and simplified operations – was the best choice for Great Southern Bank.
Cisco just launched a new CVD for VDI Horizon 8 on Datacenter FlexPod with X-Series. This is an excellent design and deployment guide for customers desiring to implement FlexPod with X-Series managed by Cisco Intersight.
