The demand for smart, high-performance switching is driven by a confluence of relatively recent networking trends whose net effect is a cyber avalanche of traffic:
- Cloud networking and an associated demand for massive virtualization
- The proliferation of always-connected mobile devices
- Bandwidth-intensive rich media apps
- Social media for business
- The rise of Big Data in enterprise analytics
Cloud computing is only operationally realistic by utilizing virtualization technology. Virtualized data centers slash costs by allowing aggressively high resource utilization and demanding minimal real estate and power use. However this also means that relatively sparse resources must accommodate large volumes of data traffic. The Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) paradigm has caused a steep increase in the number of mobile clients that have be handled by business networks, and these users tend to run a high percentage of bandwidth-intensive, HD video applications. Social business technologies are replacing traditional email as the primary enabler of collaboration and is producing an ever increasing demand for data. Enterprises who want to stay competitive are adopting Big Data techniques to mine vast and varied silos of information, which in turn generates Big Traffic. All of these trends are fairly recent, and put together they create a critical demand for an advanced generation of switches that offer much more speed, intelligence, availability and ease of management than older platforms were built to deliver.
Cisco's latest lineup of Catalyst switches are ideal for the distribution and core layers levels of campus environments where mobile and stationary workers must be accommodated by providing unvarying high speed, strict access management, tight segmentation, application awareness, and wired/wireless convergence. Catalyst series switches address the demand for speed and intelligence with features that include high-density 10G/40G/100G support, switching throughput of up to 11.4 Tbps for each chassis and double that per switching system, a comprehensive suite of technologies such as Easy Virtual Network to simplify the creation of VLANs, VSS technology for stateful interchassis failover with instant backup switch restoration and 99.999% availability, IPv6 capability, Application Visibility and Control to optimize system utilization, and sophisticated QoS tools for video data control.
Catalyst switches allow organizations of any size to benefit from incorporating intelligent switching and routing features into their network architecture, deploying an ecosystem that can deal with real-time needs, expand to accommodate future capacity demands, guard vital data, and differentiate and manage tasks to optimize network productivity.
