CloudCenter-ACI Bundle
To drive greater cloud adoption and profitability for the channel, Cisco has bundled CloudCenter with its Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), which is the company's software-defined networking solution that includes Nexus 9000 switches. CloudCenter is Cisco's application-centric cloud management solution gained from the vendor's acquisition of CliQr last year.
"So we also have a new low-cost entry point for ACI policy with cloud management. There's some real opportunities to leverage the Hybrid Cloud Sales Play to drive ACI enablement with our cloud providers," said Mohr.
