The demand for intelligent, high-speed switching is the result 0f a confluence of fairly new networking patterns whose net effect is a virtual tsunami of data:
- Cloud networking and a consequent need for intensive network virtualization
- The proliferation of BYOD computing
- Bandwidth-intensive rich media applications
- Social business technologies
- The rise of Big Data in enterprise analytics
Cloud computing is only financially feasible because of virtualization on a massive scale. Virtualized infrastructures slash expenses by allowing aggressively high hardware utilization and demanding very little data center space and power use. But this also means that comparatively sparse network resources have to support substantial amounts of traffic. The Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) revolution has caused a dramatic rise in the number of mobile clients that must be handled by IT networks, and these clients run a great deal of data-intensive, rich media applications. Social business applications are displacing traditional email as the main enabler of workforce collaboration and is producing an ever increasing requirement for bandwidth. Businesses who want to remain competitive are resorting to Big Data technology to mine enormous and varied repositories of corporate data, which as a result generates Big Network Traffic. These computing trends are fairly recent, and put together they cause a serious demand for an advanced generation of switches that feature significantly higher speed, control, availability and ease of management than previous solutions were built to deliver.
Cisco's current portfolio of Catalyst switches are ideal for the distribution and core layers levels of campus environments where mobile and stationary employees must be accommodated by providing predictable high throughput, secure user access management, tight segregation, application awareness, and wired/wireless convergence. Catalyst switches address the demand for performance and control with capabilities that include high-port-count 10G/40G/100G support, switching performance as high as 11 Tbps per chassis and double that per system, a powerful catalog of technologies such as Easy Virtual Network (EVN) to simplify the deployment of VLANs, Virtual Switching System (VSS) technology for stateful interchassis failover with instant backup switch restoration and "five nines" (99.999%) availability, IPv4 and IPv6 capability, AVC to optimize network utilization, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) capabilities for HD video data control.
Cisco Catalyst switches enable businesses of all sizes to build intelligent switching and routing services into their network infrastructure, creating an ecosystem that can handle current needs, expand to accommodate expected growth, protect vital information, and differentiate and control tasks to optimize network operations.
