Data center networks are evolving towards more programmable and software-defined architectures. Cisco's data center vision involves building bridges between individual, public, private, and hybrid clouds with unified management, intelligent infrastructure, and shared resource pools. This will provide enterprises with simplified and automated infrastructure with performance improvements up to 100G networking. Cisco offers networking, compute, and storage solutions including UCS, Nexus switching, and cloud platforms like OpenStack to help customers build flexible private and hybrid cloud environments.
