The demand for smart, high-speed switching is the result 0f a confluence of fairly recent networking trends whose net effect is a cyber avalanche of data traffic:
- Cloud networking and an associated reliance on massive virtualization
- The pervasiveness of BYOD computing
- Bandwidth-intensive HD video applications
- Social business technologies
- The popularity of Big Data in data analytics
Cloud computing is only made practical because of network virtualization. Virtualized infrastructures radically reduce expenses by allowing very high hardware utilization and demanding very little real estate and energy use. But this also requires that comparatively limited resources have to support large volumes of data traffic. The Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) revolution has resulted in a steep increase in the amount of mobile clients that must be handled by IT networks, and these users tend to run a high percentage of bandwidth-intensive, rich media apps. Social business applications are displacing email as the main driver for workforce collaboration and is producing an ever increasing requirement for data. Enterprises who want to stay competitive are adopting Big Data techniques to mine enormous and disparate silos of corporate data, which as a result generates Big Network Traffic. These trends are fairly recent, and combined they create a serious need for a new generation of switches that offer significantly higher capacity, control, uptime and manageability than older platforms were engineered to provide.
Cisco's latest portfolio of Catalyst switches are best suited for the distribution and core layers levels of enterprise campus deployments where office employees must be provided for by offering dependable high throughput, secure client access control, careful group isolation, application intelligence, and wired and wireless convergence. Catalyst series switches are designed to meet the need for speed and intelligence with features that include high-density 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet support, switching throughput of up to 11.4 Tbps per switch and twice that for each system, an extensive suite of technologies including EVN to simplify the creation of VLANs, Virtual Switching System (VSS) technology for stateful failover with instant virtual switch recovery and "five nines" (99.999%) uptime, IPv4 and IPv6 support, Application Visibility and Control (AVC) to optimize system resource usage, and advanced Quality of Service (QoS) tools for video data control.
Catalyst switches enable businesses of any size to benefit from incorporating intelligent switching and routing features into their network infrastructure, deploying an ecosystem that can meet real-time requirements, scale to accommodate future capacity demands, guard sensitive data, and separate and control processes to optimize network productivity.
