data center

Overview Largely because of the explosive growth of digital information and application deployment, data centers are getting pushed to the limits. In fact, Gartner Research predicts that by 2008, a full 50 percent of today's data centers will have insufficient power and cooling capacity to meet the demands of high-density equipment. How can IT managers cope with this impending crisis? Clearly, it is time for new answers. This webcast takes behind the scenes at Cisco to shows the thinking, the strategies, and the latest technological developments that will enable to transform the data center.
