Core Networks

Logicalis can help you design, implement and manage a core network from Cisco that delivers the performance, quality, predictability, security and, of course, high speed you need to empower your entire IT environment.

With the increasing adoption of new video and rich-media applications, core network technologies become critically important to address challenges associated with the transmission of video, voice, and data over the network, including ensuring predictability, performance, quality, and security.

Be ready for the future.

Core network upgrades with Logicalis can help you accelerate deployment of applications, minimize complexity and ongoing operational costs, increase visibility into the network, and scale the infrastructure for the best quality of experience (QoE).

A Logicalis core network strategy provides advanced, intelligent Cisco technologies and devices in a platform optimized for the delivery of rich-media experiences. It is:

  • Media-aware: Can detect and optimize different media and application types—TelePresence, video surveillance, desktop collaboration, and streaming media—to deliver the best experience
  • Endpoint-aware: Automatically detects and configures media endpoints
  • Network-aware: Can detect and respond to changes in device, connection, and service availability

For those in the finance industry, core networks designed with high-performance, high-density, ultra-low-latency Ethernet switching provide line-rate Layer 2 and 3 switching ideal for huge volumes and high-frequency trading.

Core Networks Without Limits

The flexible, responsive data center infrastructure delivered with the Cisco Nexus Family can help customers align IT assets and business priorities by providing the following benefits:

  • Investment protection and efficient use of capital: The Cisco data center strategy emphasizes investment protection and the incremental incorporation of new technologies and infrastructure, so investment is more closely aligned with business need. The Cisco Nexus Family is designed to support the entire lifecycle of the next-generation data center and allow capacity enhancements to be added in a granular, cost-effective manner.
  • Lower TCO: IT can significantly reduce capital costs through consolidation and increased utilization of previously separate resources, reduce operational expenses through simplification and automation of administrative tasks, and reduce cooling and power costs through improved utilization and an inherently more efficient system design. Additionally, by delivering a Unified Fabric, the Cisco Nexus 5000 Series can eliminate redundant infrastructure (interfaces, cables, switches, etc.) and simplify operations.
  • Improved productivity: With specific features embedded in the hardware, operating system, and network management facilities, the Cisco Nexus Family provides component- and system-level operational continuity. Increased network stability and fewer service disruptions mean that your employees have access to the resources they need, when they need them, and your operations staff can handle problems in the most efficient way possible.
  • Increased business agility: IT can dynamically respond to changing business demands by the rapid provisioning of application and infrastructure services from shared pools of consolidated computing, storage, and network resources. Data center consolidation helps streamline operational procedures and enable policy-based control.
  • Enhanced business resilience: IT can respond to disruptions or attacks by protecting infrastructure, applications, and data with the highest levels of availability, pervasive security, and business continuance. The Cisco Nexus 7000 Series is designed with a zero-service-loss architecture, so capacity and capability can be added without any downtime.
  • Optimized service levels: IT can optimize business service levels by providing secure, accelerated access to data center-hosted applications and information from anywhere, at any time, across the organization.
