Cisco sending enterprises to the cloud
In an effort to accommodate enterprise users looking to implement private and hybrid clouds, Cisco in the coming months will unveil an "integrated" WAN routing system of existing, but enhanced, products.
Cisco's Integrated Enterprise WAN Solution (IEWS) is comprised of its ASR 1000 edge router, ISR branch routers and WAAS WAN optimization appliances. It's designed to allow enterprises to connect to the cloud with an application aware infrastructure that is simple to provision and manage, says Praveen Akkiraju, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's Network Services Technology Group, which oversees enterprise routing.
"We 're leveraging our extensive network footprint and credibility to connect [users] to cloud assets," Akkiraju says.
