The need for smart, high-performance switching is driven by a confluence of relatively new computing trends whose net impact is a cyber tsunami of data traffic:
- Cloud computing and an associated requirement for intensive network virtualization
- The pervasiveness of always-connected mobile devices
- Bandwidth-intensive HD video applications
- Social media for business
- The popularity of Big Data in enterprise data analytics
Cloud computing is only operationally realistic because of virtualization on a massive scale. Virtualized data centers slash costs by permitting very high hardware utilization and requiring very little real estate and energy consumption. However this also requires that comparatively limited network resources must support substantial volumes of data traffic. The Bring-Your-Own-Device paradigm has created a dramatic increase in the number of mobile users that must be handled by IT networks, and these users tend to run a high percentage of bandwidth-intensive, rich media applications. Social business technologies are displacing email as the main driver for collaboration and is generating a growing thirst for data. Businesses who want to remain competitive are resorting to Big Data techniques to search through vast and disparate repositories of information, which in turn produces Big Traffic. These trends are relatively new, and combined they create a serious demand for a new class of switches that offer much more speed, control, availability and ease of management than older platforms were engineered to deliver.
Cisco's current lineup of Catalyst switches are ideal for the distribution/core layers of enterprise campus environments where mobile and stationary employees must be provided for by offering dependable high throughput, strict access control, tight group isolation, application awareness, and wired/wireless convergence. Cisco's Catalyst switches address the demand for speed and control with features that include high-density 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet services, switching throughput of up to 11 Tbps per switch and double that for each switching system, a powerful suite of tools including EVN to simplify the deployment of VLANs, VSS technology for stateful interchassis failover with instant backup switch recovery and "five nines" (99.999%) uptime, IPv4 and IPv6 support, AVC to optimize network utilization, and advanced QoS capabilities for HD video data prioritization.
Catalyst switches allow businesses of all sizes to build intelligent switching and routing services into their network architecture, creating an ecosystem that can deal with real-time needs, expand to accommodate future growth, protect vital information, and differentiate and manage processes to optimize network productivity.
