Cisco and Dell team up for Data Center deal!

Announced at the Cisco Networkers 2009 conference in Barcelona, the additions to the Solution Technology Integrator agreement will see Dell add Cisco’s Nexus 5020 switches to its PowerEdge server and EqualLogic, PowerVault and Dell/EMC storage systems.
The combined platform is designed to help customers simplify the management of next-generation datacentres by pooling storage and computing resources over a unified networking fabric.
This consolidates local area network, storage area network (SAN) and server cluster network environments into a single high-speed 10Gb Ethernet fabric that supports protocols such as Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and iSCSI.
Dell has also qualified the Catalyst 4900 Top-of-Rack Switches as a supported switching platform for its EqualLogic SAN arrays.
