Cloud Ready Infrastructure Smart Solutions Kits Accelerate Design and Deployment of Unified Data Center
CRI Smart Solutions Kits Accelerate Design and
Deployment of Unified DC
Cloud Ready Infrastructure (CRI) Smart Solutions Kits are a prescriptive, modular, and flexible portfolio
of building blocks for designing and deploying
Cisco’s Unified Data Center Networking platformbased
on the Cisco Virtualized Multiservice Data Center (VMDC) architecture.
Cisco® Virtualized Multiservice Data Center (VMDC) architecture. is a validated reference architecture
for both Cloud and traditional data center environments. The VMDC architecture shown in Figure 1 uses
modular, flexible, validated designs in an integrated approach that adapts easily to address enterprise,
service provider, or public sector needs. VMDC brings together the three components of the Unified
Data Center: Unified Management, Unified Fabric, and Unified Computing. Cloud Ready Infrastructure
Smart Solutions Kits focus on simplifying ordering and deploying the Unified Data Center Networking
module of the architecture.
