New solutions that enable hybrid IT and software defined, cloud-scale storage

MARCH 06, 2017

SAN JOSE, Calif.—March 2, 2017—Today, Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) and Docker Inc. announced a strategic alliance for worldwide engineering, sales and support to deliver essential container capabilities for application-centric data center and cloud infrastructure.

Customers can modernize applications using Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) with Docker Datacenter, and deliver them securely and efficiently across Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) and Cisco validated Converged Infrastructure solutions with Cisco partners.  Cisco and Docker will deliver unified and certified solutions for the entire application journey, whether organizations are containerizing traditional applications, refactoring applications to microservices, or creating new applications.  Docker EE with Docker Datacenter running on Cisco UCS will provide application developers a seamless way to deploy, iterate, re-deploy, and monitor applications onto production infrastructure.

This worldwide initiative between two industry leaders will deliver:

• Reduced complexity for improved manageability and automation, leveraging the unified, highly scalable architecture of Cisco UCS, with consistent management across all computing environments – traditional and modern.  Cisco UCS is ideal for distributed, microservices application architectures with high performance networking and comprehensive infrastructure controls via application programming interfaces.
• Scalable, resilient, secure networking for containerized applications using Contiv, a Cisco-initiated open source project that allows IT organizations to implement comprehensive network policy enforcement.

“The powerful combination of Cisco’s leading UCS product line for Cloud infrastructure and Docker’s containerized technology will offer customers high levels of security, manageability and scale,” said Liz Centoni, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cisco Computing Systems Product Group. “Developers and IT, working together, can now build, ship, and deploy container applications anywhere.”

“Enterprises are increasingly looking to Docker to modernize their traditional applications so their investment in Linux and Windows Server applications can achieve major operational efficiencies while making these applications more agile, cloud-ready and more secure” said Ben Golub, CEO, Docker. “This strategic partnership brings even more opportunity for these enterprises by running Dockerized applications on a validated Cisco UCS infrastructure that is optimized for security, availability, performance and scale.”

Docker EE is the leading container platform for enterprise developers and IT teams that are looking to converge a diverse set of application pipelines under one uniform packaging format, API & tooling for all their applications across the entire application lifecycle. Docker EE establishes the foundation for a Containers as a Service (CaaS) model that becomes the framework for an enterprise software supply chain where any applications (traditional and microservices) can be managed centrally and uniformly across any infrastructure.

Joint sales and support programs across Docker, Cisco and Cisco channel partners ensure that Docker EE works seamlessly for applications deployed across hybrid cloud, converged infrastructure, converged storage, hyperconverged infrastructure, and Cisco servers. Enterprise customers have the assurance of Cisco-supported Docker platform as part of this strategic relationship.

Cisco and Docker plan to deliver joint solutions, which will be available through Cisco’s partner channels with full support:

• Contiv: Contiv is a Cisco-sponsored, completely open source networking fabric for heterogeneous Docker deployments across virtual machines, bare-metal, and public or private clouds. As the industry’s most powerful container networking fabric, Contiv, with its Layer2, Layer3, overlay and ACI modes, natively integrates with Cisco infrastructure and complements Docker by directly mapping the application intent with the infrastructure capabilities using rich networking and security policies. At Cisco Live! Berlin 2017, Cisco announced the availability of Contiv 1.0.  Cisco and Docker announced today that Contiv is now a Docker Certified plugin, through participation in the Docker Certification Program, a framework for partners to integrate and certify their technology to the Docker Enterprise Edition commercial platform.  Contiv is available as a certified plugin in the Docker Store.
•  Cisco Validated Design (CVD) for Docker Data Center on Cisco UCS:   Customers can quickly deploy Docker Datacenter in a development or production environment on Cisco UCS B-Series blade servers or C-Series rack servers by leveraging a certified reference architecture and best practices for deployment.  This solution is targeted at stateless container deployments and comes with entry and mid-range configurations; it is ideal for customers who want to jump start their container journey.
• Cisco Validated Design (CVD) for Docker Data Center on Converged Infrastructure:  Cisco, a leader in the converged infrastructure market, brings its proven data center architecture to containerized deployments through its CVD “Flexpod with Docker Data Center for Container Management.” This CVD delivers a highly available and scalable converged infrastructure solution including how to deploy and configure Docker Datacenter on FlexPod to utilize both virtual and bare-metal instances of Docker Universal Control Plane (UCP) nodes. The reference architecture also includes manual deployment and automated deployment processes for Cisco UCS and the NetApp Docker Volume Plugin (nDVP), supporting ONTAP, SolidFire, and E-Series.

Cisco has a proven history of working with partners to develop solutions that deliver business value. The Cisco Unified Computing System (Cisco UCS) and Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) are open infrastructure frameworks supported by broad, mature partner ecosystem. The alliance with Docker will extend benefits of Cisco’s data center architectures to container environments, and the two companies will collaborate going forward to bring additional solutions to the marketplace.

Cisco integrates Microsoft Azure Stack into its Unified Computing System.

Cisco today said it would expand its hybrid cloud offerings by integrating Microsoft Azure Stack into its Unified Computing System.

The turnkey package, officially known as the Cisco Integrated Solution for Microsoft Azure Stack, grows Cisco’s Microsoft portfolio and let application developers and IT managers more easily deploy, manage and grow enterprise applications.

Azure Stack expands Cisco’s hybrid cloud offerings for customers who want the advantages of a single API for private and public cloud applications.

“We can now offer customers a spectrum of choices, which includes Cisco Metapod and Cisco One Enterprise cloud suite for their hybrid cloud initiatives. Our Business Cloud Advisor will assist customers who have questions about the appropriate cloud strategy and we will add Azure Stack as one of these options when [the product is available in later this year],” Cisco stated.

Cisco currently offers its Cloud Architecture for the Microsoft Cloud Platform package which is used to set up infrastructure, platform and software services. The package combines Microsoft’s Windows Azure Pack, which is software for setting up cloud services, with Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure, a set of switches and supporting software.

Microsoft and Cisco have had a partnership since 2014 to develop products and services designed to “modernize data centers.”

Cisco says the new offering is targeted at customers who want the ability to develop applications using the same API’s locally as they would in Microsoft Azure will want to invest in this solution.   Also, those who want to run Azure within their own datacenter should strongly consider Azure Stack. “We think customers that desire a complete Microsoft software stack from the operating system up to applications will select Azure Stack as their hybrid cloud of choice,” Cisco stated.

So why would a customer run a cloud service offering in their own datacenter? Cisco stated: “Service Providers and hosting providers want to enable Azure Stack to host the workloads of end user clients and offer Azure Services to assist with Application development and deployment.  Enterprise customers want to re-architect applications, taking advantage of Azure Services, to lower the time and cost to update and maintain them.  They also want to be able to deploy these applications to geographies and industries where the customer is prohibited from placing data into a public cloud.  It is this ability to deliver these new services that is most appealing.”

Rolled out in 2009, Cisco’s UCS is at its heart an (x86) architecture data center server platform composed of computing hardware, virtualization support, switching fabric and management software.

The basic building block of the Cisco Azure package includes is the C240 M4L rack server and will be orderable in a 4-node or 12 node cluster.  Cisco says it will also offer a 1-node additional node configuration that will enable a customer who may start with a 4-node cluster to scale in one node increments up to 12 total nodes in a cluster.  A pair of Gen 3 Fabric Interconnects would complete the initial cluster configuration.

Azure Stack is Microsoft’s Azure cloud package for data center development an includes Microsoft’s Hyper-V, Windows and storage support.

Cisco Integrated System for Microsoft Azure Stack is planned to be available in Q3 2017. The cost varies monthly depending on the number of server nodes and the number of Azure services that the customer uses, Cisco stated.

Cisco Tetration helps users move toward Zero Trust data center

The vulnerability could allow hackers to take over servers used by ISPs to manage subscribers and their gateway devices

Cisco Systems has fixed a critical vulnerability that could allow hackers to take over servers used by telecommunications providers to remotely manage customer equipment such as routers.

The vulnerability affects Cisco Prime Home, an automated configuration server (ACS) that communicates with subscriber devices using the TR-069 protocol. In addition to remotely managing customer equipment, it can also “automatically activate and configure subscribers and deliver advanced services via service packages” over mobile, fiber, cable, and other ISP networks.

“A vulnerability in the web-based GUI of Cisco Prime Home could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication and execute actions with administrator privileges,” Cisco said in its advisory.

Attackers could exploit the vulnerability by sending API commands over HTTP to a particular URL without requiring authentication. The flaw is caused by a processing error in the role-based access control of URLs, Cisco explained.

In the past, security researchers found vulnerabilities in the TR-069 implementation of many routers that could have allowed hackers to remotely take over those devices. However, a vulnerability in an ACS like Cisco Prime Home is much worse, because it can be used to take control of entire groups of subscriber devices at once.

According to Cisco’s documentation, the admin role on the Cisco Prime Home has access to the server’s customer support, administration, and audit functions, as well as the ability to perform bulk operations and access utilities and reports.

The vulnerability affects Cisco Prime Home versions 6.3.0.0 and above. Customers are advised to migrate to the latest, fixed version: 6.5.0.1.

The company has also warned customers of a medium-risk URL redirect vulnerability in the Cisco Prime Service Catalog, a product that allows companies to set up self-service portals, provide IT service catalogs for data center and application services, and manage service requests.

An attacker could exploit the vulnerability to redirect a user logged into the Cisco Prime Service Catalog to a phishing site in order to steal their credentials.

Cisco Systems Inc (CSCO.O), Bosch Ltd (BOSH.NS) and several other companies, have set up a consortium to work on how blockchain can be used to secure and improve “internet of things” applications, as sectors beyond finance seek to benefit from bitcoin’s underlying technology.

The group, which also includes Bank of New York Mellon Corp (BK.N), Foxconn Technology Group, security company Gemalto and blockchain startups Consensus Systems (ConsenSys), BitSE and Chronicled Inc said on Friday that they will collaborate to develop a shared blockchain protocol for the internet of things – the concept that everyday objects, from washing machines to shipping containers, will be connected to the internet and will be able to send and receive data.

While having more devices connected to the internet presents some advantages for consumers and businesses, it also increases the scope of devices which could be hacked.

Blockchain is a tamper-proof distributed record of transactions that is maintained by a network of computers on the internet and secured through advanced cryptography. Proponents of the nascent technology believe it could be used to provide additional security and better identity management features to internet of things applications.

“We are seeing tremendous potential for the application of blockchain in industrial use cases,” said Dirk Slama, chief alliance officer at Bosch Software Innovations. “Being able to create a tamperproof history of how products are manufactured, moved and maintained in complex value networks with many stakeholders is a critical capability …”

The consortium is one of several collaborative efforts by large companies aimed at advancing the development of blockchain technology. Around 40 banks are members of a blockchain consortium run by startup R3 CEV, while technology firms such as IBM Corp (IBM.N) and Hitachi Ltd (6501.T) are part of a consortium led by the Linux Foundation.

Companies in different sectors are looking at the technology, but some financial firms have forged ahead, recently announcing plans to deploy new blockchain systems this year.

The new internet of things consortium highlights how companies could make bigger moves in blockchain this year.

“Securing identity for physical property and packaging is going to be a big business opportunity over the next decade, high value parts of logistics supply chains and regulated industries like energy, pharmaceuticals, and cold chain could all see a blockchain component over the next decade,” said Joe Pindar, director of product strategy at Gemalto.

As investment into blockchain continues to grow, skeptics have warned that the technology may be hyped and that it may take several years before companies can reap its benefits.

You’ve heard about self-driving cars. What about a self-driving enterprise network?

According to Cisco, it’s coming—and right on time. In the quest for an agile IT infrastructure, enterprise networking has not kept pace with the likes of data center and cloud. While these technologies have seen transformative change in recent years, enterprise networks are still built and managed in much the same way as 25 years ago.

“Now that is changing,” says Ravi Chandrasekaran, senior vice president of Cisco’s Core Software Group. “The network is on the road to transformation—from a siloed, manual, hardware-centric infrastructure, to a coherent, automated and software-driven new network that intuitively aligns to business intent.”

Cisco calls this new, software-driven model the Digital Network Architecture (DNA), and it’s being driven by the needs of customers grappling with digital transformation. By contrast, the network of the early 1990s was the metaphorical equivalent of a stick shift. It focused mainly on connecting people, and the tasks were simple enough that humans could monitor and manage it. Make no mistake, these networks got the job done and along the way drove huge leaps in productivity and transformed entire industries. It’s the basis of the enterprise networks we know today.

But over the last few years, there have been major shifts in what happens on top of the network. Today, mobility is changing the way we work. The complexity of security threats is expanding daily. Applications are migrating to the cloud. And, on top of all this, billions of things will be joining the network over the next few years.

“The network is starting to be impacted by all these changes,” Chandrasekaran says. “It’s become too big, too complex and with too many moving pieces to manage manually. So we’ve had to rethink the network—to change its DNA.”

Speaking the language of business

A self-driving network is fully virtualized and software-defined, with an underlying infrastructure that’s open, flexible, malleable and automated. It also needs to be easy to program, and capable of monitoring and correcting itself.

“It’s able to speak and listen in the language of business, and adjust at the speed of business,” Chandrasekaran says. “It would fully automate user onboarding, device onboarding, application onboarding and process onboarding. It’s no longer about creating business-level policies and then manually translating and configuring the network to support them.”

Consider the following scenarios:

• Scenario #1: A snowstorm forces an organization’s employees to work from home.With today’s network: The employees can connect using their home video conferencing systems. But the spike in users results in reduced quality and connectivity problems, which in turn puts a dent in productivity.With a self-driving network: The network anticipates the storm because its analytics engine is connected to external feeds such as weather forecasts and road condition reports. As a result, it dynamically sets up end-to-end quality of service (QoS) for new video conferencing sessions and requests additional bandwidth to meet the demand. When the snowstorm is over, the network reverts to its previous state. Productivity lost: zero.
• Scenario #2: A series of machines on the manufacturing floor are connected over the network to an Internet of Things (IoT) diagnostics application in the data center or cloud.With today’s network: The network needs to be manually segmented so that the IoT devices and application are isolated from the other data and users on the network. Additionally, the service-level requirements of the application need to be set manually for each device in the network. This is time consuming and prone to error.With a self-driving network: Service-level and security policies are communicated directly from the application and devices to the network-controller via open APIs. The fully programmable, abstracted network responds by instantly creating a new, highly secure virtual segment and applies QoS and security policies for all the IoT devices and applications. It also continues tracking the performance of all other applications, making automatic adjustments if any falls below required service levels. This saves time and improves operations and user experience.The scenarios are numerous. In retail or hospitality, a self-driving network might leverage location-based services on mobile devices to predict customer trends and provide a customized experience. For a financial institution, it could facilitate faster and more secure digitization through automated provisioning and application of security policies. In buildings, it could reduce costs through smart lighting and climate control solutions enabled through IoT sensors.

The Network as hero

Many customers are already making plans for—and reaping business benefits from—networks that are more digital-ready. According to IDC, 45 percent of global organizations plan to progress to advanced stages of digital network readiness within the next two years.

And according to recent analysis conducted by IDC, organizations that upgrade their networks with Cisco DNA solutions are projected to see benefits that add up to more than $48,000 per 100 users annually. That results in a five-year ROI of over 400 percent. Other benefits include more efficient IT networking teams (28 percent), faster delivery of applications (17 percent) and faster WAN branch deployments (42 percent).

“The network is the hero of this story,” Chandrasekaran says. “In our journey to digital transformation, we must advance the network as a driver for digital innovation. Evolving into a truly self-driving network won’t happen overnight, but those that don’t embark on the journey today risk being left behind.”

Is your network ready for digital transformation? Cisco can help you get there. Go here to get started.

Organizations of all kinds are pursuing big data for one big reason: If they can extract the right data at the right time, they can use it for insights that open new ways to make money or ways to save money, like reducing their operating costs.

But organizations can’t just dive into the data. Data is everywhere today, just not in a format suitable for analytics tools. Big data in the wild doesn’t do anyone any good.

To make big data cough up its secrets, organizations must move it to their data environment and convert it into a usable format. The process of cleaning data into a format that enables “actionable insights” can be called “data optimization.”

Data optimization often has four steps: data virtualization, preparation, exploration, and prediction. These steps are how organizations start collecting the actionable intelligence and insights from big data that lead to more sales and lower expenses.

This first in a series of four blog posts explains how each of these steps relates to the next one. It also discusses why it’s crucial to learn the right sets of skills and competencies to enable data monetization.

So, let’s start by talking about data virtualization.

Using Data Without Knowing Where It Is

The first step toward making the most of big data is data virtualization. Data virtualization lets an application retrieve and use data even if that application doesn’t know the data’s format or physical location.

Here’s an example of how that might work. Think of a major global architectural engineering firm. The firm has three decades of onsite photos taken by project engineers. These photos show how work has progressed in the field. Think about syncing all of these photos on employees’ smart phones with their laptops, desktop computers, and digital cameras. The firm gathers all of these images in the cloud to make slideshows for potential customers.

In today’s world, it is not unusual for a large corporation to have its data reside in various locations—from on premises to the cloud. The corporation might have sales data on employee desktops, as well as on CRM cloud or partner networks. Anyone putting together a presentation that needs information from all of these different data sources will find it tough going.

Data virtualization can connect to all these data sources with adapters. It uses this approach to pull together all the data automatically in real time and on a constant basis.

Instead of dealing with multiple different sources of data, data virtualization automates all the data interfaces at all these different layers. Now all that data sits in a virtual data bin where you can work with it.

This is data virtualization. It enables you to retrieve data without having to know its new file path. You probably don’t know where all of the data is now stored because an abstraction layer hides those technical details. This abstraction layer is data virtualization.

Data Virtualization Offers Advantages

Data virtualization has a lot to offer. It cuts the costs of data replication. Not moving data lowers the expenses of storing and networking data. Organizations get more use out of existing servers and networks.

Data virtualization also makes organizations more agile. When they can get to their data instantly no matter where it is, they can respond much faster to constantly changing conditions.

Data virtualization makes data more visible. This speeds up decision making by a factor of 5 to 10 times. Better data visibility also leads to better decisions. Everyone in the organization who needs data to make those decisions can access it.

To improve IT’s effectiveness, it is critical to learn how to implement and use data virtualization technologies. As the first step in data management, data virtualization is the foundation for the entire process.

Without data virtualization, the simple act of finding all of an organization’s data is tough if not impossible. And if you can’t find your data, you cannot take the next step: data preparation. That will be the topic of the second post in this series about the first steps toward making the most of big data.
