If your business needs to expand and
accelerate search and analysis capabilities,
it’s time to deploy a hybrid cloud powered
by Cisco Intercloud Fabric™ and the Cisco
Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®).
Extracting deep insights from stored information within limited time frames
becomes harder as data volumes grow and infrequently accessed data is
archived to free capacity for new data. Many organizations use public cloud
deployments to take advantage of additional resources and alleviate the strain
on overburdened IT infrastructure. With Cisco Intercloud Fabric, Cisco UCS, and
Elasticsearch software, you can keep active data on your private cloud and move
infrequently accessed information and data to public cloud resources without
compromising data accessibility, search and query performance, or IT security.
Expand Your Data Center with a Hybrid Cloud
Cisco and Elastic deliver a distributed querying solution that solves the challenges
associated with creating infrastructure for big data analysis solutions. By extending
your private cloud to a public or provider-hosted cloud with Elasticsearch software
running on IT infrastructure built with Cisco Intercloud Fabric, your IT department can
create an enterprise hybrid cloud that lets you easily gain insight from data stored in
multiple locations.
Cisco Intercloud Fabric for Business
Cisco Intercloud Fabric for Business makes it easy to build a secure hybrid cloud
and extend your data center to public clouds on demand. With this open, flexible,
and secure solution, your organization can take advantage of elastic cloud capacity,
accelerate access to resources, lower costs, and gain the freedom to place
workloads across private and public clouds with ease and confidence (Table1).
