Learn More Cisco gives OpenStack a kick in the 'aas' Earlier this year, Cisco announced its strategy to build a world of interconnected clouds. The strategy, called Intercloud, was based on the concept that the compute industry would transition to a number of interconnected public and private clouds where information, data, and workloads could migrate from one cloud to another, securely, and automatically. A grandiose vision, to say the least but to date Cisco has had a number of its service provider and systems integrator partners buy off on the vision of Intercloud. Intercloud is about more than just public clouds being connected. Private clouds play a significant role in Cisco’s vision, perhaps even more so than public. In a recent ZK Research survey, I polled the respondent base to see what the plans were for public, private, and hybrid clouds. To no surprise, hybrid cloud had the largest share of the pie, with 61%, followed by private only (20%) and public only (19%). This means that 81% of organizations will be building a private cloud, certainly a significant chunk of the market. Also, the majority of companies responding to public only were smaller organizations, meaning almost all mid- to large-size enterprises will be leveraging a private cloud.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More : McAfee Needle in a Datastack Report The volume of security-related data today can make identifying a threat like looking for a needle in a haystack.
