More data is being created outside of traditional data centers as users who want more control and access to on-demand resources are bypassing IT and turning to the cloud. At the center of this change is a new breed of apps that are modular and distributed across the enterprise, built continuously and rapidly, and increasingly ML-enabled and AI-powered. As a result, the modern data center must extend past the boundaries of on-premises hardware into a landscape of digital infrastructure that’s fast, complicated, and always expanding. This requires IT to take a new approach to data center infrastructure management. Cisco’s data center strategy brings together automation, multicloud, and security capabilities into a holistic architecture that shifts the data center from a location to an operating model. With Cisco, your data center is anywhere your business needs to be.
