Thanks for the follow up Gary. I’ll be sure to keep my eyes open for the software release and any further information on the product. In the mean time, if there is any futher recommended reading, I’d love to see it.

FYI, I just tried the email address agian and got this response immediately:
The following organization rejected your message: rcdn-inbound-a.cisco.com.

Steve,
Sorry about the trouble with the email address, but I just checked it and it appears to be working fine…

Bear in mind that Nexus 1000V InterCloud is not shipping just yet, but will next quarter. So this should clear up your confusion about not figuring out how to download it just yet (same with VNMC). Stay tuned for more details.

You are basically correct in #1, but by the time we FCS the product, we will be able to support more cloud service providers, although I can’t enumerate them at this time. But Terremark is an excellent example of the type of cloud provider we hope to support soon.

I just tried to email ask-nexus1000v-pm@cisco.com and it bounced back…

I do still have a couple questions after reading through the 3 blog posts.

1. I think I’ve been able to deduce that currently the 1000v InterCloud works with VMware vCenter, Nexus 1000v, VMware vSwitch and Amazon EC2. As far as I could tell anything else is a future consideration, is that correct? (e.g. Terremark cloud services).

2. I’m still struggling to grasp which components are necessary to install into an environment to make this work. When I try to navigate Cisco downloads I end up staring at the Nexus1000v.4.2.1.SV2.1.1a.zip which doesn’t seem like the right software since you say that the Nexus 1000v is not a required component of the Nexus 1000v InterCloud.
-Is the software available to download at this point?
-Is it just a licensed feature of the existing Nexus 1000v?
-Or neither?

3. Same thing for VNMC-InterCloud software, I can’t find it.

Thanks in advance for your help!
