Groundbreaking Test Results

Delivering cloud services with confidence requires a complex set of architectures that spans from the data center to deep within the network. Cisco CloudVerse comprises a powerful set of capabilities that enables customers to build private, public, and hybrid clouds along with offering new cloud services and applications dynamically, and on demand.

By uniquely combining the three pillars of the cloud - Cloud Applications and Services, Unified Data Center, and Cloud Intelligent Network - Cisco CloudVerse delivers an integrated architecture that helps customers realize the promise of the world of many clouds. This architecture also connects people and organizations with an assured cloud experience.

Light Reading with European Advanced Network Test Center (EANTC) validated the Cisco CloudVerse architecture in the industry's most comprehensive public cloud test - including data center, network, business, and consumer applications. These tests were planned over six months, tested over eight weeks, and combined 25 test segments.The results will be published over a series of four reports, released weekly by Light Reading starting January 30, 2012.
