The companies expanded their existing global Solution Technology Integrator agreement to include Cisco's Nexus 5020 data center switching systems as part of the Dell enterprise infrastructure solutions with Dell servers and storage solutions. According to the agreement, Dell will add Cisco's Nexus 5020 switches that support both 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channelrnover Ethernet (FCoE) to its Dell Power Edge~TM server and DellrnEqualLogic~TM, PowerVault~TM, and Dell/EMC~TM storage solutions. The Cisco and Dell combined solutions help customers simplify the management of their next-generation data center with a unified networking fabric that consolidates LAN, SAN and server cluster network environments into a single high speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet fabric that supports protocols such as Fibre Channel, FCoE, and Internet Small Computer Storage Interface(iSCSI).
