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
