Update the Data Center with Efficient Storage
Your data center infrastructure must evolve rapidly to improve resiliency, increase business responsiveness, and keep up with the growing demands of new applications while reducing overall power consumption. Storage costs are growing faster than server costs, increasing the need for efficient and cost-effective storage area networks. In highly competitive environments that comply with government regulations for data recovery, 24-hour access to critical information is imperative.
Cisco solutions for storage area networks provide:
 |
|
Investment protection: First, second, and third generations can all coexist in existing customer chassis and new switch configurations. |
|
|
|
Virtualization: IT managers can provision their storage infrastructure |
|
|
Security: Your data is protected when it is at rest and while it is being transported and replicated. |
|
|
Consolidation: Storage professionals can consolidate resources by taking advantage of highly scalable, intelligent SAN platforms. |
|
|
Availability: You have instantaneous access to data from multiple tiers, for disaster recovery. |
Storage area networks are central to the Cisco Data Center 3.0 architecture, providing a networking platform that helps IT departments achieve lower total cost of ownership, enhanced resiliency, and greater agility through Cisco data center storage solutions.
