Demand for cloud services is exploding. The Cisco Global Cloud Index now forecasts that cloud traffic will grow by more than 30 percent in every region in the world over the next five years. In all, global cloud traffic will quadruple by 2019.
It's a huge business opportunity for cloud service providers (CSPs). But what do they need to capitalize on it?
It's a lot to ask for, but the world's leading cloud vendors are listening. See the Cisco Cloud Architecture for the Microsoft Cloud Platform.
Hybrid Cloud Solutions: Fast, Simple, and Ready to Scale
Cisco Cloud Architecture for the Microsoft Cloud Platform was designed from the ground up to meet the demands of today's dynamic cloud marketplace. It's the result of a partnership between two of the world's cloud leaders, Cisco and Microsoft. And it encompasses strategy, joint engineering, development, and support.
Cisco Cloud Architecture for the Microsoft Cloud Platform puts all the pieces in place for ready-to-deploy, scalable cloud services. That includes flexible cloud infrastructure (Cisco UCS servers, Cisco Nexus? switching, integrated management, and more) powered by Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). It pre-integrates this versatile cloud infrastructure with the Microsoft Windows Azure Pack cloud software platform. And all of it is pre-tested and validated for performance, scalability, reliability, and security that both CSPs and their customers can trust.
With Cisco Cloud Architecture for the Microsoft Cloud Platform, CSPs can deliver a wide range of in-demand cloud services: disaster recovery as-a-service, backup as-a-service, database as-a-service, hosted private cloud. They can set up new services for customers in one tenth the time of traditional approaches and deliver them in 37 percent less space. They can improve their ability to meet service-level agreements (SLAs) by 72 percent. And with more efficient cloud infrastructure, simpler operations, and zero hypervisor licensing costs, they can do it at up to 70 percent lower operating costs.
