Manage, operate, and integrate existing infrastructure in hybrid and multicloud environments

 

Hybrid cloud adoption is accelerating, as companies discover that hybrid cloud architectures can reduce hosting costs, improve agility, promote scalability, accelerate deployment, and enhance security. Cisco Cloud Infrastructure is the definitive reference for every IT professional, IT manager, and CIO who needs to understand, implement, or manage Cisco hybrid cloud solutions for networking, compute, storage, applications, or security.

 

Bringing together crucial information, a team of leading Cisco architects present end-to-end insights for seamlessly integrating management and operation of public cloud resources and on-premises deployments. The authors describe each Cisco solution and offering in detail, from both technical and business viewpoints. They review each leading deployment option, reviewing key concepts, best practices, guidelines, tradeoffs, design do’s and don’ts, case studies, and more.

 

Cisco Cloud Infrastructure contains many configuration examples–including topologies, configuration, and verification–each based on actual Cisco Cloud deployments, and specifically designed to help you drive value faster.

 

  • Use Cisco data center orchestration software to automate tasks and operations, and enable an agile DevOps approach to continual improvement
  • Gain big-picture insights and actionable drill-down data from the Cisco API-driven monitoring and assurance solutions
