Cisco Data Center
Build a Data Center that Gets Smarter Every Day
Applications run your business. And with the increasing diversity and complexity of applications, devices, users, and an ever-expanding attack surface, you can feel like you’re in the midst of a perfect storm. Turn this feeling into an opportunity with a solution that harnesses the constantly changing nature of today’s demands. The Cisco data center solution captures the intent of all your users and applications, and interprets the context of every application transaction, user experience, and infrastructure use.
Discover the Cisco Difference
Constantly Learning
The intent-based data center constantly monitors your network, applications, user behavior, and policy compliance. It looks for trends, changes, and anomalies wherever your workload resides. Analytics, insights, and network-wide telemetry help turn the constant flow of data into information your network can use.
Constantly Protecting
Today’s multi-tenant environments demand you are able to troubleshoot, isolate, segment, conduct forensic modeling, and ensure compliance. That’s the way your data center constantly protects itself. The Cisco data center uses multi-layer apps, data, user security, threat intelligence collection, and analytics to keep attackers guessing.
Switches
