CliQr solutions with true application lifecycle management and functionality CONSOLIDATED

Beijing, March 2, 2016 - Cisco today announced the availability of critical data center technology innovation, mainly related to the network, over a converged infrastructure and cloud mix the three main areas of coordination, will be able to support the realization of application-centric hybrid cloud deployments. The launch of the SDN-ready Nexus switches provide 10/25/40/50 / 100Gpbs cloud-speed, industry-leading price can achieve up to 10x performance improvement, to further consolidate Cisco's leadership in the field of data center innovation . The new switching platform provides the scale, telemetry capability, safety and performance required for distributed and micro container services, and effectively meet the IP storage and ultra-converged infrastructure for lossless transmission needs. Launched a new switch will enable Cisco customers to get ahead of the other two competing technologies innovative edge.

Cisco also introduced the Cisco HyperFlex ? system, which is built on industry-leading Cisco UCS computing on the platform for ultra converged infrastructure provides a new architectural approach. Cisco HyperFlex system may be the most widely used enterprise applications to simplify the entire network, computing and storage policy-based automation. Cisco HyperFlex beyond the first generation of ultra-converged solutions, breaking the major limitations of its existence in performance, flexibility and operational simplicity aspect, can fully meet the micro-services, containers, new applications and cloud comprising today's IT environment requirements . Its introduction expands Cisco's complete portfolio of software-defined infrastructure, computing and from UCS-based ACI and SDN-based network solutions, it is further extended to support storage HyperFlex.

In addition, Cisco announced plans to acquire CliQr technology companies. CliQr CloudCenter platform for private, public and hybrid cloud, offering customers a comprehensive and simplified application-centric orchestration. CliQr can provide customers with a single, intuitive platform to help customers in simple or complex hybrid IT environment to effectively manage the entire application lifecycle. CliQr platform business applications and heterogeneous data center infrastructure closely coupled together to ensure seamless operation in the bare metal, container and virtualized environments.

That is more than Cisco plans to launch in 2016, the first hardware and software innovation. These innovations are designed to help customers build a secure, simplified, scalable, and cost-effective data center, while maintaining consistency with the speed of business, accelerating the adoption of hybrid cloud environments.
