1. Cisco in 2020 committed to delivering the majority of its portfolio “as a service” over time, and at
Cisco Live Virtual 2021, the vendor introduced its formal strategy to address the new ways of
buying and consuming Its hardware, software and services.
Cisco also on Tuesday introduced its first two new flexible consumption models for networking
and hybrid Cloud.
“Cisco is taking a giant leap forward by being incredible agile. They took their time, aligned with
strategic Partners, and they are saying: ‘partners, deliver this.’ And partners are intended to
integrate it into what They already do – that’s a pretty mature view for Cisco to take,” said Kent
Christensen, practice director of Virtualization and cloud for Cisco Master partner Insight.
Insight has been offering a flexible IT consumption model because demand has been growing
from its Enterprise customers. The Tempe, Ariz.-based solution provider has been working with
Cisco’s technology Partners, such as NetApp, to create Flex pod solutions delivered as a service.
