Cisco takes aim at surging XML, RFID traffic

摘要

With a multi-product launch expected this week, Cisco will attempt to address two growing areas of concern for network architects: managing the expected explosion of XML and RFID traffic. Cisco is expected to launch a blade for the Catalyst 6500 switch that will parse XML messages quickly verify XML signatures and ensure the integrity of Web service traffic flows without bogging down the network. A branch-office appliance with similar technology is also on tap. The company also is expected to tackle RFID traffic with new hardware and software that manages and coordinates RFID data and the scanning devices that collect the data at the network edge.
