Cisco and its partners are building the Intercloud. The Intercloud delivers highly secure cloud services everywhere in the world. Built on a globally distributed, highly secure cloud platform, only the Intercloud is capable of meeting the robust demands of the IoE. It is designed specifically for high-value application workloads, with real-time analytics and “near infinite” scalability. Cisco’s open approach delivers global scale, with local presence: this allows local hosting and local provider options that enable data sovereignty.
