Live Blog -- Cloud Launch: Jeff Seifert

Cisco's John Seifert discussed their cloud strategy and the rationale behind building a pool of compute and storage resources that is embodied in the UCS and how workloads and storage can be moved dynamically from data centre to data centre using the fabric.

Seifert pointed out that Cisco has been developing flexible IT for some time now and has reduced the time to deliver from 6-8 weeks to 2-3 weeks to around 15 minutes.

The cloud is not just one thing, according to Seifert, because of regulatory environments, the needs for security, connectivity, cost structure etc. And all of this over a public-->private continuum. So true.
