Cisco Shake Hands with Experian

Cisco is the worldwide technology leader that has been making the Internet work since 1984. Their people, products, and partners help society securely connect and seize tomorrow's digital opportunity today.

Recently, Experian, named one of Forbes’ Top 100 "World's Most Innovative Companies" in 2018,  launched a global data center innovation initiative to modernize, standardize, and automate its data center technology.

Scientists plan to build computers in college. They believe that the size of the machine is equivalent to a football field, it will carry out complex calculations, and if it is done by ordinary computers, it will take billions of years.

Cisco ACI will help Experian to improved global technology operations. Experian has one of the largest databases of consumer information in the world. Cisco ACI is the industry leading software defined networking (SDN) solution enables application agility and data center automation. It is the core technology for Cisco intent-based networking in data centers.   

Robert Abner, senior network engineer at Experian said “We wanted to standardize our network architecture and IT operations worldwide. And we wanted to implement policy-based automation so that changes could be made universally instead of one switch, one data center, and one region at a time. With Cisco ACI, we can develop standardized scripts and policies and then push them to all of our sites.”

According to the scientists, this future computer will be connected by a number of modules placed in a vacuum. Inside these modules, ions that form circuit elements capable of performing primary logic operations are preserved by means of an electric field. Previously, researchers proposed connecting photons through fiber optic modules. In this new project, the problem is solved by the electric field that forms the ion transport channel. In this way, the connection speed is increased by 100,000 times.

Experian is now testing and preparing to deploy the new Cisco ACI Virtual Edge (AVE) in order to extend data center consistency and operational efficiency in the future.
