InfoStor digs into the specifics of the partnership announced at the the EMC World conference today and what it means for enterprises looking to build out their private and public clouds.
EMC announced expanded reseller partnerships with both Brocade and Cisco at the EMC World conference here in Boston today as the company fleshes out its portfolio of converged networking products and services.
EMC’s big pitch at this week’s EMC World conference has been the “Journey to the Private Cloud.” The company says those clouds will be formed by bringing Fibre Channel and Ethernet fabrics together to create the backbone of the virtualized data center.
To that end, EMC plans to build out its converged networking services, products and management tools over the next several months.
