Benefits of agreement:
The Cisco Unified Computing System is a next-generation datacenter platform that unites compute, network, storage access and virtualization into a cohesive system and, coupled with the VMware vSphere generation of products, will provide an efficient, reliable, scalable and flexible environment for delivery of IT-as-a-service.
The Unified Computing System with VMware virtualization will enable joint customers to expand the deployment of virtualization to a broader range of mission-critical applications while helping to significantly reduce their total cost of ownership (TCO), increase business agility, simplify system management and improve energy efficiency.
Further, the Cisco and VMware relationship will provide a foundation for next-generation cloud-based services, giving customers the choice of deploying and managing applications on internal or external clouds, or deploying them into federated “private” clouds for even greater scalability.
