Cisco unveils new multi-hop Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) capability for Nexus 7000, 5000 and 3000 series switches. Cisco also announces a new MDS 9000 Storage Media Encryption tool, which encrypts data whether it’s being stored to disk or tape. The company also announced a new Data Center Management API that allows third-party network management software to see traffic across Cisco’s line of Unified Computer System (USC) blade servers and data center switches. For example, Cisco’s hardware can now be viewed through Hewlett-Packard’s OpenView or IBM’s Tivoli management software.”]
