In Depth

To deliver the full benefits of a private cloud, Cisco integrates unified data center architecture with intelligent, cloud-ready networks. This powerful combination helps to simplify IT operations, tighten security, increase business agility, improve data center economics, and enable consistent cloud experiences for users.

Cisco Unified Data Center

This complete, highly efficient data center infrastructure  integrates computing, network, security, and management. It delivers outstanding performance and agility for the business while simplifying operations and lowering costs for IT.

Cisco Unified Data Center comprises three elements:

• Unified Computing System
• Unified Fabric
• Unified Management

This holistic approach unifies and dynamically optimizes computing, storage, and network resources, allowing them to be securely and rapidly repurposed and managed on demand.

Cisco Intelligent Networking for Private Clouds

Cisco combines the Unified Data Center with its intelligent, cloud-ready network to enable both elements to work as one and allow you to connect clouds. The result is an available, highly secure, and optimized infrastructure that delivers exceptional cloud experience for the user.
