Secure Multi-Tenancy
Traditionally, guaranteeing application isolation requires dedicated, isolated hardware. Secure multi-tenancy enables you to partition a virtualized, shared infrastructure. Data is securely isolated, and workload performance is maintained.
Long Distance Application Mobility
Long Distance Application Mobility includes a comprehensive server, network and storage topology, which overcomes latency and bandwidth limitations and enables IT departments to migrate virtual machines and applications across multiple data centers that are located up to 400 kilometers apart from each other.
Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery
Together Cisco, NetApp and VMware provide the infrastructure that allows you to minimize the risk of downtime and data loss as well as the risk of a compliance breach.
