Cisco announced today enhanced capabilities to its data center portfolio that it says will better protect information, enhance resiliency, and reduce cost and complexity for storage-area networks (SANs).
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. By improving data security and accelerating data back up and disaster recovery, these new capabilities support Cisco's 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.
