Cisco Updates Enterprise Networking Portfolio Cisco has introduced new and updated Cisco Catalyst switching and Integrated Services Router products that provide high-performing, fully programmable enterprise networking solutions. The products are part of the new Cisco Enterprise Networks Architecture, which enables applications to get the networking information they need to offer more innovative services to end users with less hands-on administration from IT professionals. The architecture expands the scope of Cisco’s Open Network Environment (ONE), a portfolio wide strategy that applies software programmability to ASICs, operating systems, networking
functions, and services across the data center, WAN and LAN. Cisco is updating its entire service provider and enterprise networking portfolio to become open and programmable, and this news addresses the campus and branch portion of that transition. “The network is more important than ever before in enabling the user experience in today’s applications. Network intelligence, simplicity and innovation will be the key factor in unlocking new business opportunities and competitive differentiation for our customers,” said Rob Soderbery, senior VP and GM, Cisco Enterprise Networking Group.
