Giant new resort in Singapore will build an equally giant Cisco network complete with EnergyWise.

(Posted by Cisco Subnet editor, Julie Bort, while Jim Duffy is on vacation.) Cisco and its new unified computing platform, scored a huge international customer in the form of Resorts World at Sentosa (RWS) in Singapore. RWS is said to be one of the biggest, most anticipated international resorts, slated to be opened next year. And it is building its complex, state-of-the-art network with Cisco gear.

RWS will span 49 hectares and comprise six hotels, a casino, Universal Studios Singapore and three other large theme parks, in addition to a corporate office and data center.

The network will use the whole Cisco shebang: its virtualization technologies via its unified computing platform in the data center, along with Cisco routing, switching and security wares. The resort will also deploy the EnergyWise feature of its Catalyst switches, to monitor and manage the network’s energy consumption.

RWS estimates that its giant green field data center and network includes more than 40,000 network points.
