Fast and Furious: Speedy Data Center Interconnect is in Demand
The data center interconnect (DCI) market is poised for significant growth, thanks to the growing use of cloud services, massive proliferation of data, increasing adoption of hyper-converged data center designs, and evolution of network traffic behavior.
Soon, all organizations will find themselves in need of faster, more reliable, higher-capacity connections.
In this edition of Network Evolution, we examine how the demand for speedy, scalable interconnect links are driving upgrades -- whether from 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps, or from 10 Gbps to 100 Gbps -- and moving the DCI market forward.
Also inside, we explore:
- Whether Cisco’s recent updates to the CCIE exam will help keep the certification relevant in the era of cloud and IoT
- How American universities are tackling software-defined networking education, and what that means for network managers of tomorrow
