Cisco’s Technology Trifecta for Cloud OS
The Cisco Microsoft alliance over the past three years has provided a stream of technology innovation ranging from the introduction of our UCS compute family, our Hyper-V Extensible Switch offer Nexus 1000V, to some of the best System Center integration and PowerShell work seen to date.
In late 2013 and early 2014 Cisco continued to release new technologies that support Microsoft’s Cloud OS: our Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) architecture, Invicta solid state flash capabilities for UCS, and Cisco Intercloud, a hybrid cloud management solution. ACI, Invicta, and Intercloud offer up a ‘technology trifecta’ that provide support for Cloud OS - Windows Server and Azure - and System Center.
These technologies will enable quicker more efficient cloud deployments, workload deployments based on SQL, Exchange, and SharePoint s well as improved integrated manageability. This session will introduce these three Cisco technologies and showcase their discrete integrations into Windows Server, System Center, and Azure.

Which statement best describes your firm’s current or planned strategy regarding the use of service providers for cloud IaaS?
Use IaaS for peak workload or special demand to
complement in-house servers and storageUse IaaS as primary,
complemented by on-premise server and storage for special
demandsUse IaaS for all server and
storage needs
We don’t have an IaaS strategy yet
