Application-centric infrastructure products in the data center: here is the real value of Cisco.

The challenges around the optimization of the data centers are increasingly pressing. Organizations need flexibility, agility and energy-effective. Based on this reality, Cisco initiated the buyback of Insieme Networks a San Jose-based company focused on the development of application-centric infrastructure products in the data center. Henceforth this is done; Cisco should combine the Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), and an open ecosystem of partners to provide its customers with a data center networking solution that can offer full visibility and integrated management of physical and virtual networked IT

resources.

A note of 7 out of ten encourages the vision, pending to see how these resources will be harnessed.
