Cisco, NetApp and VMware team up for dynamic data center

Cisco, NetApp and VMware announced Tuesday an expansion of their collaboration to deliver new architectures for improved efficiency, flexibility and security. The three companies introduced an end-to-end Secure Multi-tenancy Design Architecture that provides enhanced security in cloud environments by isolating the information technology (IT) resources and applications of different clients, business units or departments that share a common IT infrastructure. The companies also will provide a support model for these pretested and validated design architectures to help customers quickly build a unified, virtualized infrastructure. The systems are available today.
