Cisco introduced a hybrid cloud solution, dubbed Cisco InterCloud, that aims to support many interconnected public, private and hybrid clouds.
Cisco InterCloud, part of the Cisco One platform, is infrastructure software that will enable organizations to combine and move workloads – including data and applications – across different public or private clouds securely while maintaining associated network and security policies. The goal is to be able to move workloads to and from participating cloud providers with Cisco Powered services, such as BT, CSC/ServiceMesh, CenturyLink Technology Solutions, and Virtustream. In addition, Cisco InterCloud has been designed to move workloads to and from multiple public clouds, including Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Windows Azure.
Cisco InterCloud will provide workload mobility and is intended to integrate with cloud management solutions such as Cisco IAC, as well as CSC/ServiceMesh’s Agility Platform, Red Hat CloudForms, and other products from Cisco’s ecosystem partners. Other leading technology partners supporting Cisco InterCloud include EMC, Citrix, Denali Advanced Integration, Microsoft, NetApp, Rackspace, VCE and Zerto.
