Which three vendors are Cisco Virtualization ecosystem partners? (Choose three.)
A. Citrix
B. IBM
C. NetApp
D. Hay Group
E. Microsoft
F. VMware
Correct Answer: ACF
Explanation/Reference:
These open system solutions offer customers choice and flexibility through initiatives such as vBlock’s pretested, integrated, and validated data center architectures from Cisco and EMC, which offer a computing and storage platform built on the Cisco Unified Computing System, Cisco Nexus 1000V, VMware, and EMC storage. Other ecosystem partners such as Netapp and Citrix expand the portfolio by delivering comprehensive desktop virtualization solutions that offer high-definition virtual desktops and applications to users across the enterprise.
The cloud is a consumption model, not an architecture, because customers consume solutions, not products. Partners are a critical component of the Cisco cloud marketplace model and this means strong relationships with cloud technology partners and ISVs such as VMware, EMC, Netapp, BMC, Intel, Oracle, Microsoft, Citrix, Red Hat, and SAP.
