Meeting the needs of today’s business users is creating ever more complexity in the data center. It’s simply no longer efficient to manually assemble components at the cost of delayed service delivery. As IT leaders take a more holistic view of the data center they’ve started moving away from the notion of silos created by separate network, storage, server technology and administration stacks. At the speed of data, technology and business evolution, flexibility and an organization’s ability to adapt and respond are the true business advantages that IT must tap into.
A Cisco® Unified Computing System™ (UCS) eliminates much of the complexity that makes managing a traditional data center challenging by limiting the visibility needed to contain virtual server sprawl and to improve application performance. Simplified management is also addressed through a single system that spans server, storage and networking—as well as hardware—to create a truly integrated data center that facilitates the need for speed and transparent user experience.
Mobile devices are only becoming more pervasive with each passing moment. In fact, the forecast calls for 7 billion mobile devices in use by the year 2015. From smart phones, to laptops, to tablets, your workforce is adopting and creating new ways of working and collaborating—with or without IT support—and sometimes without IT’s knowledge.
Adding more firewalls and security devices isn’t the answer. Neither is trying to forbid access from personally-owned devices or allow them free rein. The sooner IT network managers address how to securely allow any device to access the network from anywhere they need to, the more strategic the network will become as a corporate asset that improves productivity.
One comprehensive answer to this network security challenge is the combination of Cisco SecureX Architecture with Cisco AnyConnect™ Secure Mobility Client 3.0.
