Cyclical environments like harvesting seasons increase your workloads. Cloud allows for flexibility in your resources. Having a dashboard and ability to move workloads across private, public and hybrid clouds is critical.
Agile cloud services, combining computing, networking, storage, and management tools with business applications, make it easy to connect headquarters and remote sites with secure, on-demand services. Cloud will help manufacturers integrate disparate locations, ensure data integration, enhance business process efficiency, and increase end-user workforce productivity.
Cisco provides product lifecycle management and inventory tracking through the entire supply chain, integrating devices, applications, and geo-location solutions in brand-oriented industries.
