Cisco Partner Ecosystem
- The Cisco partner program has evolved to attract and reward a much broader set of partners. Learn how Cisco partner programs and incentives can help you reach new markets and foster profitable growth, while creating even more customer value, with integrated solutions from Cisco and Microsoft.
Cisco UCS and Integrated Infrastructures for Private Cloud
- The Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) unifies computing, networking, management, virtualization, and storage access into a single integrated architecture. FlexPod and VSPEX are integrated infrastructure solutions developed by Cisco and NetApp and Cisco and EMC. These flexible architectures provide the optimal platforms for Microsoft oriented data centers and private cloud.
Hybrid Cloud
- Our resident consultants will explain the vision behind interconnected hybrid cloud utilizing the latest Microsoft technologies and Cisco acceleration technologies such as Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), intercloud, Cloud Services Router 1000V, and Cisco Nexus 1000V Virtual Switch. Together these technologies will help facilitate a seamless transition from traditional private cloud methods into a hybrid cloud model.
Cisco UCS Management with Microsoft System Center
- Cisco and Microsoft have worked together to tightly integrate Cisco UCS Manager and System Center to deliver a seamless management experience, both physical and virtual. Cisco UCS Manager provides embedded management of all software and hardware components in Cisco UCS. With Cisco UCS Central, management can be extended globally to thousands of servers across multiple Cisco UCS domains and geographies. Cisco UCS Director unifies management across computing, networking, and storage components in converged infrastructure solutions.
Cisco UCS for Microsoft SQL Server and Exchange
- The Cisco UCS management model, service profiles, and virtual interface adapters dramatically simplify and standardize Microsoft application deployments. Cisco UCS also provides the highest levels of consolidation and performance for both virtual and bare metal SQL Server and Exchange implementations.
Cisco Nexus 1000V Network Virtualization with Microsoft Hyper-V
- Many enterprises and service providers want to extend Cisco networking benefits to their Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V deployments. The Cisco Nexus 1000V Switch and VM-FEX offer a consistent operational model across physical and virtual environments in hardware or software. This distributed virtual switching platform provides advanced features and is tightly integrated with the Hyper-V ecosystem.
Cisco UCS Invicta
- Cisco UCS Invicta Series Solid State Systems deliver powerful, easy-to-manage application acceleration for I/O and bandwidth-intensive workloads. With Cisco UCS Invicta Series, you can confidently deploy flash memory technology with the proven operational and scaling advantages of the Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS).

Cisco executives and subject matter experts will be available to meet one-on-one to discuss our partner programs and solutions. To request a meeting, contact your Cisco account manager or email wpcmeetings@cisco.com.
