The need for smart, high-speed switching is driven by a confluence of fairly new computing trends whose overall impact is a cyber avalanche of data traffic:
- Cloud computing and an associated demand for massive virtualization
- The proliferation of BYOD computing
- Bandwidth-intensive HD video applications
- Social media for business
- The rise of Big Data in analytics
Cloud computing is only operationally realistic by utilizing virtualization on a massive scale. Virtualized data centers slash costs by allowing very high resource utilization and demanding minimal data center space and energy use. But this also requires that comparatively limited resources have to support substantial volumes of data. The Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) paradigm has caused a dramatic rise in the number of mobile clients that must be supported by business networks, and these clients tend to run a high percentage of bandwidth-intensive, rich media applications. Social business technologies are replacing traditional email as the main enabler of workforce collaboration and is generating an ever increasing thirst for data. Enterprises who want to stay competitive are resorting to Big Data techniques to search through enormous and disparate silos of information, which as a result generates Big Network Traffic. These computing trends are fairly new, and put together they cause a critical demand for a new class of switches that offer significantly more performance, control, availability and manageability than previous platforms were built to provide.
Cisco's latest lineup of Catalyst switches are ideal for the distribution and core layers layers of enterprise campus deployments where mobile and stationary employees must be provided for by offering predictable high speed, strict access management, careful segregation, application intelligence, and wired/wireless convergence. Cisco's Catalyst series switches are designed to meet the need for performance and control with features such as high-density 10G/40G/100G services, switching capacity of up to 11.4 Tbps per chassis and twice that per switching system, an extensive collection of tools such as Easy Virtual Network to simplify the creation of virtual networks, VSS technology for switch failover with instant virtual switch recovery and "five nines" (99.999%) availability, IPv4 and IPv6 support, Application Visibility and Control to maximize system resource usage, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) tools for video traffic control.
Cisco Catalyst switches enable businesses of any size to benefit from incorporating smart switching features into their network infrastructure, creating an ecosystem that can meet real-time needs, expand to support future capacity demands, guard vital information, and differentiate and control processes to enhance network productivity.
