Cisco has a new bag and it’s called AXP. It appears they’ve created the groundwork for allowing trusted VMs to run on their infrastructure. Quick skimming and it looks like they are leveraging this open platform as a way to invite third party vendors to jump on their hardware as a way into remote branch offices (mandatory “lowered TCO” references all over).
The platform itself sounds very intriguing with a lot of really cool potential.
It’s only a matter of years until they abstract this further and have these VMs hosted across the network. Any large company can have their own google-sized backend just in the closet around the corner and available in every access layer switch/router.
We’re trying to figure out how to secure the cloud, does it make it easier if we own the cloud?
