“Fabric computing is a fixture on the radar screen of many IT groups, driven

by the increased penetration of virtualization and prospects for cloud

computing.” —Gartner

Gartner report: Fabric Computing Poised as a Preferred Infrastructure for Virtualization and Cloud Computing,

February 11, 2011, George J. Weiss and Andrew Butler Report. ID number: G00210438.

Fabric computing has emerged as

the preferred infrastructure for data

center virtualization and cloud

computing and Cisco is the market

leader in this industry transition


Storage Array Disk Drive

• System Administrators used to manage each disk drive

• The Storage Array fundamentally changed the focus

• No one cares how many disk drives they have: storage matters

Simplify The Data Center


Unified Computing System Server

• System Administrators have to manage each server

• Unified Computing changes the focus

• No one should care how many servers they have: Computing matters

Simplify The Data Center
