Storage networking is central to the Cisco® Data Center 3.0 architecture, providing a networking platform for IT departments to achieve lower total cost of ownership (TCO), enhanced resilience, and greater agility. A key part of this strategy is the concept of a unified data center network fabric that concurrently handles LAN, SAN, and server clustering traffic. This enables every server in the data center the ability to connect to any IP or storage resource. This markedly improves the service capabilities, flexibility, and resilience of the data center while simplifying cabling and network infrastructure and reducing power and cooling overhead.

In this webcast, we will discuss how a Cisco is continuing to innovate in the storage networking market with investments in intelligent fabric applications such as Storage Media Encryption, higher performance switching modules supporting 8G Fibre Channel, and consolidated I/O with Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) modules.
