Cisco Unified Data Center
With 
next generation IT requiring a new way of thinking about IT infrastructure, Cisco Unified Data Center solutions featuring Cisco Open Network Environment (Cisco ONE) are poised to increase operating efficiencies, simplify IT operations, and enable business agility.
Based on our three innovation pillars — Unified Fabric, Unified Computing, and Unified Management—Unified Data Center simplifies provisioning and management of shared physical and virtual resources, within and across data centers. This unified approach with programmable infrastructure helps to reduce ongoing maintenance costs and free up IT resources to support strategic business initiatives, such as cloud computing, consolidation and virtualization, and new applications.
Visit the Data Center zone in the Cisco Campus #758 to interact with peers, Cisco executives, industry luminaries, and Cisco partners. Join us and explore new best practices and technologies for greater IT productivity.
