Cisco Introduces Storage Networking Enhancements

New Cisco Data Center capabilities help to secure data and improve disaster recovery.

Cisco, a networking and communications products manufacturer, today announced enhanced capabilities to its data center portfolio that will protect information and reduce cost and complexity for storage-area networks (SANs). The company states that the new capabilities enhance security and accelerate data traffic over greater distance for customers with IBM System z mainframe storage environments and for those with open systems SANs.

It explains that by improving data security and accelerating data back up and disaster recovery, these new capabilities support its Data Center 3.0 strategy to help IT organizations build next generation data centers that take advantage of technologies like data replication and virtualization and respond quickly to changing business needs.

"The Cisco MDS family is a critical component in our data center portfolio, and we will continue to invest in improvements and new capabilities to better serve our customers, while protecting their existing technology infrastructure investments," said Rajiv Ramaswami, VP and general manager of the Data Center Switching Technology Group at Cisco. "In addition, Cisco and IBM share a common goal to provide the most secure and robust solutions for our customers. By deploying a Cisco MDS-based SAN with IBM System z, data center managers can implement highly secure and scalable disaster recovery strategies over any distance, and with the confidence that Cisco will continue to evolve new capabilities over time."
