2017 New Year's Resolutions Ideas for Data Center Pros

Jan, 11, 2017 Hi-network.com

This|is the time to write our New Year's resolution, and for that we should learn from what we have achieved in the past to better prepare for the future. With that in mind, I invite you to look at the new innovations that Cisco brought to you in 2016, and how they have been perceived by our customers, partners, analysts and tech lovers represented in awards and test results.

This way, if you are considering data center solutions to meet your 2017 goals, you can definitely start by looking at the list of 2016 awards winning data center products and make better decisions!

To give you some background, in 2016, Cisco has formulated the most innovative Cisco data center strategy to provide an architecture that lets you Analyze, Simplify, Automate, and Protect your data and applications: the ASAP data center. Brad Casemore, Research director of Data Center | Cisco Nexus Fabric ManagerNetworks at IDC, shares his honest opinion about the Cisco ASAP Data Center:

"...an architecture devised to modernize infrastructure, simplify operations, prepare for next-generation cloud applications, fully leverage hybrid cloud, and provide comprehensive visibility and security throughout the datacenter and across all application environments."

-Enabling Digital Transformation in Datacenters and Hybrid Cloud: Cisco Analyze, Simplify, Automate, and Protect (ASAP).

Following are key solution components of the Cisco ASAP data center:

Network Test and Miercom reports: Cisco Intelligent Buffers Are Superior than Large buffers

In this past year, there has been a marketing buzz about having larger buffers. While there are benefits to larger buffer sizes, Miercom tests and reports that Cisco's intelligent buffers demonstrate a clear advantage over large buffers. See the report to satisfy your curiosity!

Network Test: "Let's cut right to the chase: The Cisco Nexus 9508 is the densest, fastest data center switch we've ever tested." (Cisco Nexus 9508: A New Speed Record in Data Center Switching)

Miercom: "...our testing results show that the Cisco Nexus 92160YC-X and Nexus 9272Q switches outperformed the Arista 7280SE-72 switch for congestion handling. The Arista 7280SE-72 switch has much deeper buffer than the Cisco switches, but with the built-in intelligent buffer management capabilities, both Cisco switches demonstrated clear advantage in flow completion time for small/medium flows over the Arista 7280SE-72 switch and provided the same or similar performance for large-size flows, which resulted in overall higher application performance." (Speeding Applications in Data Center Networks)

SIIA CODiE Awards:
