Strong customer adoption
Earlier in this series, we noted that Cisco aims to deliver a multi-cloud platform via its Network Intuitive initiative, which would deliver faster secured cloud applications. Cisco is optimistic about this product, as its data center supports modern and traditional applications both on premise as well as in the cloud.
Over the last four years, Cisco has led the industry in verticals such as ACI (application centric infrastructure) combined with its UCS (unified computing system) and Cloud Center solutions. As Cisco’s fastest-growing data center switching platform, ACI experienced year-over-year record growth of 38% in fiscal 4Q17.
In fiscal 4Q17, #Cisco stated that its #multicloudinfrastructure portfolio, combined with #cloudbased #SaaS (software-as-a-service) offerings such as #Meraki #CloudNetworking and #WebEx, experienced strong growth.
Cisco ’s expertise in accelerating data center application deployments from private to public clouds has resulted in strong customer adoption. Cisco’s #hyperconverged offering, #HyperFlex, combined with #CloudCenter is gaining traction among enterprises, driven by its scalability to support #hybridcloud strategies.
