Cisco Data Center 3.0

One of the most overwhelming challenges facing IT today is the increased demand from customers and users for data center resources. And with data center storage requirements also increasing, sometimes 100 percent a year, how can organizations reduce the cost and complexity of managing and delivering IT services and at the same time, improve performance?

Evolve Your Datacenter
Cisco Data Center 3.0 helps organizations meet these challenges in their data centers to achieve the technical, financial, and business benefits of data center virtualization and cloud computing.

Data Center 3.0 is built on the concept of investment protection through leveraging existing infrastructure and granular integration of new technologies and platforms to meet business needs.

The central element is data center virtualization which offers:

• Lower total cost of ownership (improved asset utilization and reduced infrastructure, power, and cooling demands)
• Increased resilience
• Improved agility and responsiveness

By virtualizing data center infrastructure and decoupling applications and data from the physical resources they run on, IT can deliver and maintain data center services more efficiently, resiliently, and dynamically.

The network plays a central role in enabling data center virtualization across server, storage, and network domains, and is central to the Cisco Data Center 3.0 architecture roadmap.
