Cisco Upgrades Switch Operating System

Paul Travis writes in InformationWeek:

Cisco Systems today introduced enhancements to the operating system of its flagship Catalyst 6500 switches, which many businesses rely on to run their LANs, which are designed to improve system availability, efficiency, and security.

Cisco is breaking its Internetwork Operating System into modules so a problem in one module won’t affect other parts of the operating system. That also will make it possible to upgrade a module without shutting down the entire switch, the company says. And a new embedded event manager will let customers automate and off-load routine tasks to the network.
