Data Center/Virtualization

Cisco’s Data Center architecture can help organizations develop advanced implementations of physical, virtual, and cloud environments. But to achieve new levels of agility and innovation, companies must answer key questions, such as whether to use a hosted/private cloud or a public cloud for applications and services — and how to enforce security policies for public and private clouds, while providing the scalability and flexibility that today’s enterprises need to grow and thrive.

Sessions in this track will draw on Cisco’s own experience helping clients implement cloud environments and developing the innovations to address key business requirements. Attendees will see how a consistent, integrated design approach to Data Center services — one that fully capitalizes on the latest technologies — can deliver new levels of agility and lower capital and operational expenditures.

• ACE Deployment in an Application Environment
