It looks like Cisco’s Unified Computing System (UCS) is taking a step forward from theory to reality with the newly announced partnership with infrastructure-as-a-service provider Savvis, which will leverage Cisco’s virtualized data center technology to build and deliver private clouds to the enterprise.
This is reportedly the first such private cloud partnership in Cisco’s virtualized data center push. Under the terms of the deal, Savvis will integrate Cisco’s UCS with Symphony, its proprietary private cloud platform, to create the industry’s first enterprise-class Virtual Private Data Center. The idea is to provide enterprises with the ability to use an outsourced data center with shared, virtualized resources with confidence in security, reliability and performance.
