Cloud Challenges
The study also indicates that this exponential growth in data center and cloud traffic will create the need for advanced capabilities that allow data centers and the network to work together to support the delivery of cloud services and applications from start to finish..

Cloud traffic is dynamic, So advanced network intelligence and management capabilities become indispensable elements to ensure that computing resources, Network and storage can be delivered on demand.

However, today most cloud technologies reside in silos, hindering efficient and integrated management. By integrating the three foundational elements of the Cloud – Cisco Unified Data Center with Cisco Intelligent Network to enable Cloud Applications- CloudVerse provides end users with an enterprise-class cloud experience, between Clouds and beyond the Cloud.

A large number of companies, service providers and governments are already adopting Cisco CloudVerse as the foundation of their Cloud strategies, including ACS-Xerox, Fujitsu, NWN, Orange Business Services, Silicon Valley Bank, Telecom Italia, Telstra, Verizon Terremark or Telefónica Spain. Today, more than 70 percent of leading cloud providers are leaning on CloudVerse on their journey to the cloud.

Cloud Services and Applications, that facilitate the delivery of Cisco and third-party cloud applications as a service. Various capabilities have been added to Cisco's Managed Collaboration Solutions platform (HCS, Hosted Collaboration Solution):

• Private Cloud HCS.This new solution helps organizations build their own Cloud collaboration platform using Cisco's validated and tested designs and comprehensive management capabilities..
• Mobile HCS. Mobile service providers now have the ability to easily and cost-effectively deliver collaboration solutions from the cloud, Extending services from 'fixed' devices to mobile terminals. For example,, Providers can connect virtually thousands of a company's mobile users using a unique contact number, or allow customers to re-route an ongoing call from a landline to a mobile phone.
• Customer Collaboration. Cisco is providing more affordable and accessible contact center capabilities by adding Cisco Customer Collaboration offerings to the HCS platform. These offers are now available on a limited basis; Its general availability is expected during the current fiscal year.

The same, Cisco Completes CloudVerse Support with New Cloud Enabler Services That Combine Cisco's Professional Services Expertise with A Comprehensive Partner Ecosystem, helping organizations accelerate their journey to the Cloud successfully and take advantage of all the advantages of Cloud Computing.

According to Luis Palacios, Director of Business Development for Data Center and Virtualization in the Cisco Southern Region, "Until now., Cloud technologies resided in silos, making it difficult to build and manage environments and interconnect multiple Clouds. This situation created significant challenges to which Cisco now responds by facilitating a world of multiple Clouds and connecting people., communities and organizations through a guaranteed user experience on the next-generation Internet".

"We are delighted that a large number of leading organizations and service providers around the world are adopting Cisco CloudVerse as the foundational foundation of their cloud strategies., and we look forward to working closely with them on their journey to a multi-Cloud scenario.", has added.

Cisco CloudVerse provides a significant economic advantage by helping organizations deliver enterprise IT-as-a-service resources and dynamic services for SMBs and consumers. Migrating from a traditional virtualized data center to a Cloud-based cloud can reduce IT total cost of ownership (TCO considering operating and capital costs) up to a 50 percent, in addition to reducing the time it takes to offer new Cloud services from weeks to minutes.
