Cisco and Red Hat have announced that they are partnering together on a new cloud computing offering that will unite Cisco’s infrastructure hardware with Red Hat’s distribution of OpenStack. Called the UCS Integrated Infrastructure for Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform (UCSO), the solution will include Cisco UCS servers, Nexus networking technology, storage, virtualization and UCS Director management software.
UCSO will come in three different editions: Starter (available in November), Advanced and Advanced ACI.
