Introduction

Hybrid cloud is an interaction between private and public clouds where private clouds extend to public clouds and utilize public cloud resources in a secure and scalable way. Cisco Nexus 1000V InterCloud provides the architectural foundation for secure hybrid clouds, allowing enterprises to easily and securely connect the enterprise data center to the public cloud. With a hybrid cloud, enterprises can combine the benefits of public and private clouds. Cisco Nexus 1000V InterCloud provides the following benefits:

•Provides a highly secure Layer 2 connectivity between the enterprise data center and the public cloud.

•Provides a single pane of management across enterprise data centers and public clouds through Cisco Prime Network Services Controller.

•Enables use of same network policies and services across private and public clouds.

For more information about how to install and configure the Cisco Nexus 1000V InterCloud, see the Cisco Nexus 1000V InterCloud Installation Guide.
