It is nearly impossible to miss the business transformation taking place in every organization.  As consumers, our smart devices have trained us to expect delivery of information or services at near instant speed.  But when we move from our consumer to business roles, we find service delivery anything BUT instant.

Cisco has two solutions that deliver on demand consumption of IT and business services into hybrid environments.  Both of these solutions have been noticed by customers and have become established in the marketplace.  But it is especially pleasing when recognition comes from industry peers.

Since 1986, the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) has recognized software and digital content providers with CODiE awards.  The SIIA CODiE is the only peer-reviewed program that showcases technology products for business and education.  SIIA represents approximately 800 member companies worldwide that develop software and digital information content.

Recently, SIIA announced the winners of their CODiE awards:

CODiE
Winner Best Cloud Infrastructure:   Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite
Winner Best Cloud Management Solution:    CliQr CloudCenter (now Cisco CloudCenter)

Cisco ONE Enterprise Cloud Suite is a hybrid cloud solution that allows organizations to land and expand their cloud journey. Modular architecture enables companies’ to start with basic infrastructure automation and expands into IT and business-based service delivery.  This modular approach allows organizations to experience the benefits and ROI of self-service automation faster.

CliQr CloudCenter (now Cisco CloudCenter) abstracts the application from infrastructure allowing the application to be deployed across multiple data center, private and public environments. Cisco CloudCenter defines and configures the infrastructure as opposed to fitting the application to a preconfigured infrastructure-centric blueprint or template.

Cisco’s hybrid cloud duo provides any organization with a simple way to get started and grow as their expertise of cloud services evolves.  They manage heterogeneous hardware and deliver hybrid cloud capabilities that virtually eliminate cloud lock in while increasing organizational speed and flexibility.  Best of all, both solutions contain built-in guardrails that are hidden from developers or line-of-business yet silently protect business compliance and security.
