Cisco updated its switching portfolio with 40 Gigabit Ethernet and 100 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) capabilities.
40 GbE performance options have been added to its Catalyst 6500 switching line, and 100 GbE capabilities in its Nexus 7000 portfolio for interconnecting data centers to service providers. 
To expand its campus aggregation and data center top of rack switching, Cisco also announced two new fixed configuration platforms that provide high-density 10GbE switching. 
Other product updates  also announced simpler network virtualization functionality for its Catalyst 6500, 4500 and ASR 1000 product lines with a new technology called Easy Virtual Network, as well as scalable virtual services with a new Nexus 1010-X appliance for the data center.  
Together, these enhancements will help businesses scale their networks, simplify operations, and protect their existing Cisco switching investments – many of which have been deployed for a decade or longer, the company said.
