Jul 02, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
Panduit, a provider of Unified Physical Infrastructure (UPI), participated as a platinum sponsor of Cisco Live 2009, which featured the networking industry's latest technology for the data center and for connected real estate.
Panduit said its UPI solutions leverage an integrated physical infrastructure as the foundation to enable convergence across communication, computing, control, power and security systems. These end-to-end solutions drive operational and financial advantages across the enterprise, allowing businesses to minimize risk, reduce costs, heighten agility and support sustainability initiatives, according to the company.
Panduit is working with Cisco to develop solutions that help customers manage risk within the physical infrastructure by intelligently converging physical and logical systems. The power of this collaboration is resulting in flexible UPI-based Solutions for the Data Center and Connected Buildings that map key physical layer elements to centralized, logical computing environments to achieve greater operational efficiencies, maximize space utilization, and support power, cooling, and energy efficiency goals. Cisco Live is the latest venue by which these solutions were communicated to a wider industry audience.
"We are very excited about our participation as a Platinum Sponsor of Cisco Live 2009," said Vineeth Ram, VP of Global Marketing, Panduit, prior to the event. "At this event, Panduit will showcase physical-logical infrastructure best practices to reduce cost, improve efficiency, and productivity. Throughout this event we will feature our industry leading high speed data transport capabilities, integrated physical infrastructure management solutions and connected building solutions that enable our customers to make smart choices to achieve increased energy efficiencies while enjoying maximum infrastructure performance at minimal risk. As a participant in the Cisco Data Center of the Future Initiative (DCoF), Panduit will showcase its solutions jointly with Cisco and other partners at the DCoF Pavilion. This is a unique opportunity for us to demonstrate how a set of industry leaders can help customers deploy comprehensive data center solutions based on Cisco technologies."
The most recent output of Panduit-Cisco collaboration - a virtualized, converged LAN/SAN data center network over 10Gig Ethernet - was demonstrated at the Panduit booth. Together with Solarflare, Panduit and Cisco incorporated the Panduit TX6A 10GIG Category 6A UTP Cabling System with a Cisco Catalyst 6503 Switch and Solarflare's Solarstorm vNIC controllers and 10Xpress 10GBASE-T transceivers over a vSphere-ready VMware ESX 3.0 platform. Panduit said this combination aligns partner efforts to deliver a cost-effective platform that minimizes the risks associated with convergence, performance, and ever-increasing user and application demands on the data center infrastructure.
