We’re proud to welcome CSC as one of many new customers for Cisco’s cloud management software. Enterprises large and small, as well as service providers from around the world, are adopting Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud.
As one of the world’s largest providers of technology-enabled solutions and services, CSC has been a pioneer in delivering enterprise-class IaaS and was recently recognized as a leader in Gartner’s new magic quadrant for public cloud service providers. Their cloud business is growing rapidly by providing a secure, reliable path to IT-as-a-Service for their clients:
CSC cloud services are built on VCE’s Vblock infrastructure platform, with Cisco UCS and networking, EMC storage, and VMware virtualization. They chose our Intelligent Automation for Cloud solution to complement these and other technology investments, while providing differentiated cloud management capabilities in self-service provisioning and orchestration.
Organizations small or large can deploy collaboration technologies on premises, on the cloud, or on both with a hybrid deployment. I believe that the source or the provider of collaboration technology should be transparent to the end-user and that the experience should be the same regardless of deployment model or device used.
At Cisco we’re very focused on offering flexible deployment models that support on-premises, cloud, or hybrid deployments of our collaboration technologies. Of course, these are built on our collaboration architecture to ensure the interoperability and user experience. Read More »
Welcome to a world of many clouds. Today’s leaders can architect their own private clouds for maximum security, purchase services from public-cloud providers, or find the right balance between the two. In some cases, business services that once cost millions of dollars in internal technology and IT staffing can be garnered for just hundreds of dollars per month when outsourced to the public cloud. Enterprises are significantly impacted by top- and bottom-line benefits.
Top-line growth results from a host of enhancements:
You’ve seen a number of posts on the Channels blog recently about cloud and the growing opportunity. But don’t just take our word for it. Several of our Cisco Master Partners took time to tell their stories. Specifically, how embracing the world of many clouds is helping them expand their value to customers—and increase their bottom line.
Those generously sharing their insights today include:
After several days at SAPPHIRE 2012 in Orlando, Florida , where I got to attend amongst many other activities an interesting dialog between EMC Doc d’Errico and Cisco VP Server Access and Virtualization BU Satinder Sethi (stay tuned video coming very soon) , I am back on the show floor this time in Las Vegas for EMC World.
In case you still don’t know (really?) , Cisco and EMC have a very close partnership on many fronts , as one of our very active blogger and speaker Jay Metz was highlighting yesterday in carrying proudly this nice Infographics.
Obviously one of the main topic on the booth was Cisco UCS , whether as a stand alone platform, or integrated in a stack like Vblock, the solution provided jointly by Cisco , EMC and VMware under the brand VCE (check VCE Tom Chatham blog on EANTC Cloud Mega Test )
Recently Cisco and EMC deepened this partnership
“Cisco and EMC have a long history of partnering together for the benefit of our mutual customers, from storage solutions to the original Vblock to VSPEX. For those of you who missed the announcement, VSPEX is a reference design program to help guide customers as they build out their next generation of infrastructure. With our own success with the Cisco Validated Design program, we know this is an effective tool for customers as they look for trusted resources to guide infrastructure investment decisions. “wrote Omar Sultan in his blog “VSPEX: our Continuing Exploits with EMC”
So we invited today on the booth EMC Director and blogger Brian Gracely , our friend, blogger and reseller from Varrow Jason Nash and Cisco Virtualization Architect Ron Valente to share with us the excitement of this first day .
In this short video, our 3 experts talk about “easy to use and manage “. Interesting enough, I was also attending yesterday a Webex session about Cisco.com users based on a very large panel of Cisco customers . According to this survey, one of the major interests for our customers to visit high tech website such as Cisco, is to find information about how the systems are ”easy to use, configure, and manage”.
If you are in Las Vegas today, I’d like to make some suggestions for this second day at EMC World
