Cisco unveils new data
centre innovations for
hybrid cloud
C
isco has announced data
centre technology innovations
in three key areas: networking,
hyper-converged infrastructure, and
hybrid cloud orchestration which will
enable application-centric hybrid
cloud deployments. Cisco continues to
lead data centre innovation with SDN-
ready Nexus switches that deliver
cloud scale 10/25/40/50/100Gpbs,
with up to 10 times performance
improvement at industry leading
price points. The new switching
platforms provide the scale, telemetry,

security, and performance needed
for distributed containers and micro-
services, as well as the lossless traffic
needed for IP storage and hyper-
converged infrastructure. The new
switches give Cisco customers a
two-year innovation advantage over
competitive technology.
Cisco also unveiled Cisco HyperFlex
Systems, built on Cisco’s industry-
leading UCS compute platform, which
brings a new architectural approach
to hyper-converged infrastructure.
Cisco HyperFlex Systems simplify
policy-based automation across
network, compute and storage for the
widest set of enterprise applications.
Cisco HyperFlex surpasses first
generation hyper-converged solutions,
which were severely limited in terms
of the performance, flexibility, and
operational simplicity required by
today’s IT environment of micro-
services, containers, new applications
and clouds. This expands Cisco’s
portfolio of complete software-
defined infrastructure – from compute
