Cisco and IBM have teamed up to develop a service called Managed Private Cloud-as-a-Service. Cisco will support the service through a hardware platform. Information indicates that it will be available in two variants. The first Managed Private Cloud-as-a-Service will use the VMware development environment, and the second will use OpenShift (RedHat). The agreement is a continuation of cooperation between the two companies that intend to combine their technologies, the goal is to create a platform that allows customers to manage applications running in both local data centers and in hybrid clouds.
