Cisco introduced a broad array of innovative data center products and solutions that will enable customers to better utilize their data center resources, deploy more robust business continuance, build cost-effective storage area networks, and enhance data security.

Cisco's vision for next-generation data centers, called Data Center 3.0, entails the real-time, dynamic orchestration of infrastructure services from shared pools of virtualized server, storage and network resources, while optimizing application performance, service levels, efficiency and collaboration. 

"The network is uniquely positioned to be the platform for the data center, and Cisco is investing in innovations to help our customers transform their data centers for improved efficiency and increased business productivity. Data Center 3.0 provides our customers with a roadmap to build mission-critical data centers that improves collaboration within their organisations while dramatically reducing power consumption," said Tatchapol Poshyanonda, Cisco's managing director.

Over the next 24 months, Cisco will deliver innovative new products, programs, and capabilities to help customers realize the Cisco Data Center 3.0 vision.  New products and programs announced today support that vision, representing the first steps in helping customers to create next-generation data centers.
