 Networking major, Cisco shared plans to tap the growing opportunity in the Indian data center market by showcasing its Unified Computing System and ‘fabric based computing’ approach.
According to Cisco, fabric based computing helps enable a "wire once" deployment model where changing configurations no longer means installing new components or re-cabling existing ones. It helps to reduce cost by eliminating the need for a parallel set of components to support multiple data transmission protocols. Along with the reduction in these infrastructure components on the server side, a similar reduction on the network edge is possible, further reducing costs.
“At Cisco, we aim to bring together network, compute and virtualization technologies into one unified system. We are confident of revolutionizing datacenter management by offering flexibility and taking advantage of the role that the network plays in addressing key aspects such as security, scalability and interoperability”, said Pramodh Menon, sr. vice president, Cisco India & SAARC.
