The need for intelligent, high-performance switching is the result 0f a confluence of relatively recent computing patterns whose net impact is a virtual avalanche of data traffic:
- Cloud networking and an associated demand for intensive network virtualization
- The proliferation of BYOD computing
- Data guzzling rich media applications
- Social business technologies
- The popularity of Big Data in enterprise analytics
Cloud computing is only financially feasible because of virtualization technology. Virtualized data centers radically reduce expenses by permitting very high resource utilization and requiring very little real estate and power consumption. However this also means that relatively sparse resources have to support substantial volumes of data traffic. The Bring-Your-Own-Device paradigm has resulted in a steep rise in the number of mobile users that must be supported by business networks, and these users tend to run a high percentage of data-intensive, rich media apps. Social business technologies are displacing email as the main driver for collaboration and is producing an ever increasing requirement for bandwidth. Enterprises who want to stay competitive are resorting to Big Data techniques to search through enormous and varied repositories of information, which in turn produces Big Network Traffic. All of these computing trends are fairly recent, and combined they create a serious demand for a new class of switches that feature significantly more capacity, intelligence, uptime and manageability than older platforms were engineered to deliver.
Cisco's current portfolio of Catalyst switches are designed for the distribution/core levels of campus environments where office employees must be provided for by offering predictable high speed, strict access management, tight group isolation, application awareness, and wired and wireless convergence. Catalyst series switches address the demand for speed and intelligence with capabilities such as high-port-count 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet support, switching throughput of up to 11 Tbps per switch and twice that per system, a comprehensive catalog of tools such as Easy Virtual Network (EVN) to simplify the creation of virtual networks, Virtual Switching System (VSS) technology for stateful interchassis failover with subsecond backup switch recovery and 99.999% uptime, IPv4 and IPv6 support, Application Visibility and Control (AVC) to maximize network utilization, and sophisticated Quality of Service tools for HD video traffic control.
Catalyst switches allow businesses of all sizes to build smart switching services into their network architecture, deploying an ecosystem that can meet real-time needs, scale to support expected capacity demands, guard sensitive data, and separate and control processes to optimize network operations.
