Virtual Cluster Switching (VCS) is new Layer 2 Ethernet technology currently in development that targets to improve network utilization, maximize application availability, increase scalability, and dramatically simplify the network architecture in virtualized data centers. VCS comprises three pillars of innovation technology: Ethernet Fabric, Distributed Intelligence, and Logical Chassis. The VCS architecture is designed to incorporate a set of Dynamic Services for the highest level of functionality and investment protection for data centers, making it a core building block for virtualizing data center networks.
Tracks: Enterprise Data Center Management, Virtualization for New Services and Virtualization of Existing Resources
