The Cisco on Cisco Service Oriented Data Center (SODC) and Storage Technology Tutorial provides an overview of Cisco's multi-year redesign effort to create a Services Oriented Data Center and implement new solutions for storage, content networking, and application acceleration. The SODC redesign consolidates and transforms the data center infrastructure for improved user service, better utilization of server and storage resources, more automation and flexibility for data center services, and a lower total cost of ownership. The new storage solutions reduce costs and improve scalability for data access and management as Cisco’s server and data volumes continue to grow.
