Cisco has said that more than 30 companies, including Deutsche Telekom, BT, NTT DATA, and Equinix, have added their support to Intercloud – the worldwide network of interconnected clouds that Cisco and its partners are building to enable a new generation of standardise cloud applications and the proliferation of highly secure hybrid clouds.
This expansion will take Intercloud’s reach by 250 additional data centres in 50 countries and advances Cisco’s plan to address customer requirements for a globally distributed, highly secure cloud platform capable of meeting the robust demands of the Internet of Everything.

Designed for high-value application workloads, with real-time analytics and “near infinite” scalability, Cisco’s open approach to the Intercloud allows local hosting and local provider options that enable data sovereignty.
“Since we announced our OpenStack-based cloud strategy six months ago, we’ve received tremendous industry-wide support. The strategy is gaining momentum in the open source community and providing partners with a powerful cloud platform with global reach, and Internet scale and efficiencies,” said Rob Lloyd, President – Development and Sales, Cisco.
“Just as Cisco played a leading role in connecting isolated islands of LANs to architect the modern Internet, Cisco’s Intercloud Fabric and Application Centric Infrastructure innovations uniquely position us to connect disparate cloud services to unlock the full potential of cloud and with it a new era in IT,” added Lloyd.
Further, Cisco said that it will begin offering a hybrid cloud service and its Intercloud Fabric, which is a highlysecure, open and flexible hypervisor-agnostic cloud interconnect technology, is now available to customers.
