 "Cisco Delivers Containerized Data Center")
Cisco has unveiled the Cisco Containerized Data Center to address the evolving computing and networking needs of both public and private sector organisations. The Cisco Containerized Data Center is a modular datacentre solution in a weatherised ISO container that offers an open architecture and transportable platform coupled with a unique management platform for cost-effective datacentre deployments. Designed to help meet the unique needs of government and commercial organisations for mobile rapid deployment, disaster recovery, support in remote areas, and better cost utilisation, the Cisco Containerized Data Center offers efficient continuity of operations, increased energy efficiency, increased power density and reduced risk.
Designed to efficiently use power in meeting cooling and serviceability requirements, the Cisco Containerized Data Center extends the capabilities of traditional brick-and-mortar datacentres, including a more energy-efficient platform that lowers operating expenses and decreases the environmental impact.
Cisco is working with technology partners such as VMware, EMC and NetApp to deliver cloud computing, storage, virtualisation and Cisco data center capabilities based on the Cisco Unified Computing SystemM. Master system integration partners such as Johnson Controls, Inc., in conjunction with Cisco channel partners, deliver Cisco equipment and integration services that enable modular data center solution deployment.
The Cisco Containerized Data Center takes advantage of the Cisco Data Center Business Advantage framework, which includes Cisco Unified Computing, Unified Fabric and Unified Network Services to optimise flexibility, agility and ease of use. The Cisco Data Center Business Advantage, with its fabric-based infrastructure approach, transforms today’s datacentre from separate silos (servers, storage, networks, Layer 4-7 switching services, security and so on) into a single integrated infrastructure with a set of shared resources and a consolidated management model.
A key element of the Cisco Containerized Data Center is the Cisco Data Center Operations 360 management system, which offers comprehensive information technology capacity planning and deployment support, real-time monitoring, historical reporting and trending, and space and environmental analytics. Cisco Data Center Operations 360 is fully extensible with user-defined attributes, monitors and architectural layout rules.
The Cisco Containerized Data Center does not rely on proprietary IT platforms. With its open platform, the Cisco Containerized Data Center is easy for organisations to quickly integrate into existing environments.
“Cisco is committed to offering innovative data center solutions for our customers. In conjunction with our extensive partner base, Cisco is able to offer the industry’s most comprehensive standards-based data center portfolio. The Containerized Data Center delivers the scalability, agility, efficiency and productivity that our customers require,” said Brad Boston, senior vice president, Global Government Solutions Group, Cisco.
