“With its Data Center 3.0 vision, Cisco is transforming the data center into a virtualized environment that revolutionizes how organizations adopt new IT strategies and respond quickly to changing business needs,” said Jayshree Ullal, senior vice president of Cisco’s Data Center, Switching and Services Group. “The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series is the result of significant and pioneering internal innovation. Combined with the 10-Gigabit Ethernet portfolio that the flagship Catalyst 6500 Series offers, Cisco provides customers with a smooth migration into a new era of data center networking.”
