Cisco Multi Cloud Solutions
Cisco’s cloud solutions help you better optimize the multiple cloud environments in your business.
Unlike other solutions that optimize only for specific cloud environments or a single cloud, Cisco brings together networking, analytics, security and management to help you connect, protect, and consume clouds in a multi-cloud world.
Cloud innovation today revolves around two common themes
- Businesses need to move to the cloud at their own pace with enough flexibility, often trading off between investment protection targets and innovation speed.
- The multi-cloud reality is creating new challenges when it comes to the increasing complexity in controlling different clouds. As a result, businesses need a simple multi-cloud platform to take full advantage of their existing clouds.
What is multi-cloud?
In a multi-cloud system, your business won’t be limited to just one type of cloud or one specific cloud provider.
Cisco’s multi-cloud solutions bring together networking, analytics, security and management across different cloud environments to help you connect, protect and consume different clouds in a multi-cloud world.
Now, imagine a system where multiple public clouds are a seamless and consistent part of your operations. That’s what Cisco brings you.
The rising multi-cloud adoption in the Asia-Pacific
In 2019, it was found that 70 percent of organizations in the Asia Pacific region have deployed multi-cloud environments.
The report said that a multi-cloud environment allowed businesses to address customers’ demand for “compelling new and differentiated experiences, features and services.”
With multi-cloud, businesses became more responsive to customer demands and brought new customer-facing services to market faster.
It also allowed them to focus more on innovation by providing an environment where they can build, deploy and manage applications, regardless of the underlying infrastructure (i.e. on-premise, private or public cloud).
What to look for in a multi-cloud platform?
When choosing a multi-cloud service, choose one that effectively manages multiple cloud providers via a single interface. With Cisco, you can enjoy all the essential features of a great multi-cloud platform:
Flexibility
How does the platform handle the different behaviors between different cloud providers? Clouds behave differently, and you’ll need a multi-cloud platform with application interoperability depending on which cloud service provider you use.
Visibility
Oracle’s SBC is a field-proven solution for connecting a wide range of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Unified Communications (UC) and call center systems to public network services, including SIP trunk services and cloud communications applications.
Versatility
How versatile are its reporting tools? There’s no one-size-fits-all report, so the best way to analyze performance, evaluate usage and identify security issues is through fully customizable reporting tools.
Future-proof ability
As clouds keep on evolving, so should be your multi-cloud platform. Choose a multi-cloud tool that’s built for the present, as well as for the future.

Benefits of Cloud Consume:
- Seamlessly deploy and monitor applications across the multi-cloud
- Identify performance trends to better allocate IT resources and control cloud budget
- Analyze users, apps, and business performance before and after migration
- Collect business metrics (such as conversion rates, costs) to drive cloud-consumption decisions
- Identify app dependencies to prioritize migration candidates
Cloud Advisory
Designs, plans, accelerates, and removes any risk from your multi-cloud adoption.
Benefits of Cloud Advisory:
- Create a strong foundation for your cloud strategy to fully achieve the benefits of cloud adoption and virtualization
- Evaluate public, private and hybrid cloud options across multiple opportunities for application, infrastructure, security and operations
- Assess your current operating model and use key business objectives to recommend areas of focus and improvement
What types of businesses can benefit from a multi-cloud adoption?
Retail
Multi-cloud offers scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. It allows retailers to access customer data anywhere, gather analytics to understand customer behavior and better target right customers with special discounts.
Healthcare
Multi-cloud allows for a more flexible administration and instant access to client records. Also, health care facilities must be responsive and adaptive to shifting industry regulations — agility is one of multi-cloud’s main selling points.
Banking
Multi-cloud technology can be used for non-critical functions, such as email, CRM, and application development. Cloud also provides security to the large customer data.
Global workforces and remote teams
A multi-cloud solution makes it easier for workers to access tools and information remotely, without slow VPN logins. It also saves on money spent on real estate as businesses must pay not only for hardware but also for the physical space that houses the communication and document-sharing tools of their employees.
