Cisco Live Preview: Flash and Analytics

Vendors are stirring up buzz around their new products ahead of the upcoming Cisco Live 2013 event in Orlando, Florida. The conference will take place from Sunday, June 23 to Thursday, July 24.

One of the firms that has already announced its participation is Tegile Systems, a Newark, California-based provider of hybrid storage systems. The company signed up as a featured partner of the Cisco Live Unified Data Center, a 16-rack data center simulation that will feature its new FlashPack reference architecture. FlashPack is pegged as a pre-configured server, network and storage bundle that optimizes capacity and performance requirements in VMware-based virtualized desktop environments. Tegile says the architecture leverages its Zebi HA2100 hybrid storage array and Cisco’s UCS B200 M3 servers and Nexus 5000 high-end rack switches to free up physical resources and accelerate I/O performance. According to the company, the HA2100 is up to 83 percent more cost-effective than competing solutions.

“After successfully testing our reference architecture to prove its capacity, performance and cost benefits in VDI environments, we are excited to premiere the solution as part of the Unified Data Center at this year’s Cisco Live event,” said Rob Commins, Tegile’s vice president of marketing. He added that “the performance and economic advantages that customers can realize by implementing a VDI solution like FlashPack that incorporates both in-line deduplication and compression as part of its storage component are, quite frankly, staggering. This is a solution that dovetails nicely with Cisco’s concept of the Unified Data Center.”

Symmetricom and ISI Telemanagement Solutions will also be showcasing their solutions at Cisco Live, as will Cisco itself. The vendor will put the spotlight on the Platform Exchange Grid (pxGrid), a recently unveiled framework that empowers enterprise developers with to built applications atop the Cisco Identity Services Engine.
