4 billion of China's cloud computing related market Cisco plan

April 21, Cisco released a series of technical innovations around the overall data center business Advantage (DATACENTERBUSINESSADVANTAGE,DCBA) architecture, including Cisco NEXUS7000 Family and Nexus5000 series, The latest ultra-low Latency Data center platform Cisco NEXUS3000, Cisco MDS storage switches, Cisco Unified Computing Systems (UCS), Cisco Data Center Network manager, and Cisco Nx-os Integrated Data center operating system throughout the Cisco Data Center portfolio.

The Cisco Datacenter Matrix ensures converged network management and "once wired" flexibility from servers to storage arrays in both physical and virtual environments. In addition to the introduction of these new products, Cisco has further upgraded the industry's most comprehensive and innovative standardized data center product portfolio, allowing the diversification of data centers and cloud services through a common intelligent exchange matrix to join, and successfully achieve architectural flexibility, investment protection and operational simplification.

"The network is becoming a convergence point for cloud architecture, Cisco is committed to transforming daily life through networking, cloud services and leading the next generation IT system," said Johnmccool, managing director of the data center, Exchange and Services Division, Cisco Global Senior vice president. ”

Forecasts show that in 2013-2014, China's cloud-related market will reach 4 billion trillion dollars. Vice president of Greater China, Cisco, non-boundary network and data center business Director Shusung said that there are four kinds of cloud in the country are worth looking forward to, one is the IaaS provided by operators, the second is the internet company's data center, the third is the government-led urban cloud, four are in education, medical, banking and other industries to build private clouds

Cisco is currently in the Cisco sector. Earlier this year, Cisco announced cooperation with Sichuan Telecom to build a "China West Information Center" in Chengdu to provide cloud computing services for government and related industries. According to Cisco's vice president of Greater China, North District general manager Zhang Yunjie, the center has been able to provide IAAS services, the future will also provide video, unified communications and other aspects of the business.

To test the performance of the cloud Platform, Cisco pioneered the cloud computing platform in its own data center. Shusung introduced, in Cisco's Allen Data Center, 70%-80% of the host adopted virtualization technology, cost savings of 37%, through the use of x86 server instead of the original Unix minicomputer, and save 26%, the overall savings of tco60%.

Cisco has maintained a technological advantage in the cloud computing data Center market after launching the Nexus switch. Johnmccool told reporters that the current Nexus switch has 10,000 customers, shipments up to more than 70 million units.

With the development of technology, Cisco is also constantly refining its Nexus and data center product line. This time, Cisco has further perfected matrix Extender technology (FEX), which ensures that users can build a single module matrix, enabling extensions from Cisco Nexus switches to Unified computing servers, adapters, and virtual machines. Design flexibility, reduced cabling infrastructure, and simplified management Save up to 50% of equipment and operational overhead for more than 5,000 users deploying Cisco FEX architectures.

Cisco has also added support for the three-tier virtual private network (VPNs) on the Nexus7000, while supporting the industry's pioneering name-and-Separation networking Protocol (LOCATION/IDSEPARATIONPROTOCOL,LISP). Lisp is a groundbreaking IP routing and address architecture pioneered by Cisco. IT managers can take full advantage of Lisp to ensure a highly flexible network that enables network workload mobility, cloud readiness, migration to IPV6, and scalable multiuser mode implementations.
