About Cisco Catalyst Blade 3000 Series

Simplifying Data Center Design and Operations

Blade servers are gaining popularity in data center architectures because of the functional and cost benefits they deliver. By 2011, Gartner expects them to represent 20 percent of all servers purchased, according to its latest Dataquest Insight report on the blade servers market.

Cisco provides a full portfolio of switches for the blade environment. These switches deliver the services and functionality needed to properly support today’s application environment.

By standardizing on the Cisco Blade Server switch family (Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand), your organization can simplify data center operations and reduce time to deployment for new application infrastructure, without compromising the availability, security, and predictable performance your business needs.
