Three of the world's leading IT solutions providers are to collaborate on a new project involving virtualization, it has been announced.
Cisco is set to work with NetApp and WMware to develop new design architectures that would help companies improve the efficiency, dynamism and security of virtualized data centres.
The companies are currently focusing on the creation of an end-to-end multi-tenancy design architecture that offers improved security by isolating the IT resources of different clients on a shared IT infrastructure.
Paul Mauritz, president and chief executive officer of VMware, said: "A shared virtual infrastructure requires that resources for different tenants are isolated while delivering on promised service levels.
"We have integrated our technology with Cisco and NetApp not only to accelerate our customers' journey through their data centre transition, but also to deliver an outstanding customer experience."
VMware recently launched two new software development kits based on both Java and Python for its VMWare vCloud API solution.
