Cisco Plus for Hybrid Cloud – Product Brief

Cisco Plus is the brand Cisco uses for cross-portfolio solutions delivered as-a Service. It represents Cisco movement into consumption-based acquisition models. Initial offerings include hybrid cloud and will later be expanded into a broader catalog of services that will be built and delivered with Cisco’s partner ecosystem.

Like Dell APEX, Cisco Plus is outcomes-based meaning that customers select from a list of service attributes such as performance, capacity, and system availability levels to which Cisco delivers the hardware, software and support services that meet those customer-selected levels. Cisco Plus offers what they defines as “full Stack observability” enhanced with AI/ML and support automation.

The Cisco Plus Hybrid Cloud will include the following consumption-based offerings:

  • Cisco Plus Hybrid Cloud for Bare Metal Compute – Cisco UCS bare-metal servers
  • Cisco Plus Hybrid Cloud for VDI – Cisco HyperFlex HCI with third-party VDI
  • Cisco Plus Hybrid Cloud for Virtualization Cisco UCS servers and/or HyperFlex HCI
  • Cisco Plus Hybrid Cloud for Edge Compute – HyperFlex Edge
  • Cisco Plus Hybrid Cloud for DC (data center) Networking – Cisco MDS or Nexus switches with Cisco Data Center Network Manager

Cisco Plus includes a “full lifecycle” suite of services through Cisco Customer Experience (CX) and with partners. Order delivery will be made within 14 days. Initial as-a-service offers will be available as a limited release in Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, UK and the U.S.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
