Cisco Pushes 100-Gigabit Ethernet Capability into Switch Portfolio

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:06:56 GMT

Cisco is pushing its cloud-ready switching portfolio to market. Cisco has updated its switch lineup with 100- and 40-gigabit Ethernet capabilities.

Cisco clearly sees opportunity. According to the Cisco Cloud Index, more than 50 percent of computing workloads in data centers will be cloud-based by 2014, and global cloud traffic will grow more than 12 times by 2015, to 1.6 zettabytes per year. That's the equivalent of more than four days of business-class video for every person on earth.

"This is a good announcement for Cisco," said Zeus Kerravala, principal analyst at ZK Research. "Look at the popularity of 10 gig now for server interconnects. You typically want to keep your inner switch links at a higher speed than what you are running your servers at because you don't want the network to be a bottleneck. Cisco is not first to market with 100 gigs -- Brocade was -- but Cisco is not late to market, either."

Demand for 100 GB?

Cisco said its new capabilities provide a "holistic architectural approach" across campus, data center and service provider environments, and address emerging trends like cloud, video, mobility and the proliferation of 10 Gb Ethernet.

The announcement is in line with cloud market moves Cisco has been making lately, including the recently rolled out CloudVerse solution. Cisco said the new switches are a key element of its strategy to help customers meet the demands of cloud computing trends and the "resulting data deluge."

"I think you'll start seeing the demand for these switches," Kerravala said. "We'll probably see more demand for the 40 gig than the 100 gig. But it's good that Cisco has a 100 gig option because companies that need the speed prefer that exponential jump from 10 gigs. In a lot of people's minds, mine included, 100 is the next logical step...
