Forrester ResearchPower consumption has actually been reduced by 50 per cent over the last generation of
Cisco boxes, as well as over competing boxes, he said.
According to Rob Whiteley, vice president and research director for infrastructure and operations at Forrester Research, the refresh of the Catalyst 2000 and 3000 lines will help Cisco to remain competitive in an increasingly difficult market. "The switching market is really heating up. Enterprises are quickly realizing they need to scale to 10 gig networks if they are to keep pace with the explosion in data traffic. Traffic from virtual machines (both server and desktops), video, voice, and the usual growth in Web are quickly compounding," Whiteley said.
