Cisco CSCO and Equinix, Inc. EQIX, today
announced that they will jointly develop enterprise customer
solutions that utilize Cisco's Intercloud technologies and the
Equinix Cloud Exchange(TM) to deliver more secure, resilient and
efficient interconnection to public clouds.
Cisco and its partners are rapidly building the Intercloud -- the
worldwide network of interconnected clouds designed to unlock
exciting business opportunities by connecting fragmented and
custom-built clouds with open APIs for busi
ness acceleration.
Traditionally, security and performance concerns have deterred
businesses from accessing cloud environments via the public Internet,
and it has been challenging for organizations to bridge the gap
between public and private clouds.
Cisco and Equinix plan to develop a hosted private cloud solution for
the Intercloud. The solution will utilize the Equinix Cloud Exchange
to provide secure private access to the rich ecosystem of cloud
service providers in Equinix data centers globally. Designed to
accelerate cloud adoption and optimize performance, the Equinix Cloud
Exchange is an advanced interconnection solution that enables
seamless, on-demand and direct access to multiple clouds, including
AWS and Microsoft Azure, and multiple networks in 17 markets across
the globe, with 19 expected by end of year.
Cisco plans to deploy Intercloud capabilities in 16 Equinix markets
across Europe, Asia and the Americas. Equinix also plans to deploy
key Cisco technologies and services across its Cloud Exchange,
including the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switch, Cisco Application
Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) and the Cisco Evolved
Services Platform.
