Cisco upgrades Gigabit Ethernet switches

Cisco has updated its switching portfolio with the introduction of 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) and 40 GE capabilities.
These new capabilities provides customers with a significant advantage, while addressing emerging trends like cloud, video, mobility, and the proliferation of 10 GE.

The company is delivering investment protection with 40 GE performance options to its Catalyst 6500 switching line, and 40 GE and 100 GE capabilities in its Nexus 7000 portfolio in order to interconnect data centers to service providers.

''Today's industry-leading performance and services innovations demonstrate Cisco's leadership, as we transition our customers to cloud, video, mobility, big data and virtualized infrastructures,'' said Rob Soderby, senior VP for Cisco's enterprise networking group.
