When Cisco Systems Inc. announced Cisco Plus, its as-a-service model for compute, networking and storage hardware, in late March, it was telling which of the new features would be introduced first this year. It was Cisco Plus Hybrid Cloud, scheduled for release in mid-2021.
That Cisco would lead with its hybrid cloud offering, which combines data center compute with Unified Computing System networking over Nexus, plus storage and software to integrate edge, on-premises and public cloud, should come as no surprise. Hybrid has come to dominate the IT universe, and it is what customers want in managing critical enterprise workloads.
