Cisco has teamed up with IBM on new storage networking products to speed up wide-area data traffic and improve security.
The two firms have created the MDS 9000 line of products which use a specialised Cisco WAN acceleration offering.
Cisco says the new system "maximizes parallelism by supporting multiple system data movers (SDMs) and multiple readers within each SDM. Fibre Connection Data Access Storage Devices from IBM, EMC and HDS are supported to complete the ecosystem".
It has also released the TrustSec Fibre Channel Link Encryption which scrambles data between MDS 9000 switches in data centres, while also needing no performance degradation and being enabled on a per-port basis.
The MDS 9000 line is aimed at firms which are already using IBM's system Z mainframe who can also use third-party SANs.
Cisco has recently launched two new rack-mountable servers to its data centre range as part of the Unified Computing System strategy.
