Ok this is very out of the way for me to post something like this you might say. But hey Im a tech geek too i follow a IT degree which also covers Networking ... so i better put up some contribution to the IT industry too right ?? After all Girls love geeks. Because Geeks knows HTML (How To Make Love).
Just a bit of change in word style and the Topic today ...
Just following on CISCO news i found out that Cisco 30th March unveiled security and network convergence upgrades to its line of director-class data center switches, including a new multi-hop Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capability for the Nexus 7000, 5000 and 3000 series and MDS 9500 switch family.
The data traffic unification features extend to Cisco's Unified Computing System, its Data Center Network Manager software and to NX-OS, the data center operating system that spans the company's data center portfolio of switches.
Cisco also have announced a new MDS 9000 Storage Media Encryption tool, which encrypts data whether it's being stored to disk or tape and requires no storage area network (SAN) reconfiguration.
The company said it has also completed the integration of its Data Center Network Manager software for SANs with VMware, allowing users a single view of their entire network infrastructure right down to virtual machine (VM) paths.
Cisco also announced a new Data Center Management API that allows third-party network management software to see traffic across Cisco's line of Unified Computer System (USC) blade servers and data center switches. For example, Cisco's hardware can now be viewed through Hewlett-Packard's OpenView, EMC's Ionix or IBM's Tivoli management sofwtware.
The Data Center Management (DCM) API works by using the Storage Networking Industry Association'sStorage Management Initiative Standard (SMI-S), an XML-based messaging interface for unified management of heterogeneous storage systems.
