VMware View & Cisco Integration

VMware View should be deployed in environments which have engineered a stable highly available LAN/WAN. Those networks should be fault tolerant with redundancy built in from the ground up making them highly resilient. Hence Taupo works closely with Cisco and their preferred Gold partners to make sure these deployments are a success.

Though we have worked with other networking vendors, only Cisco has the ability to directly integrate with VMware and provide a single management plane for network whether the network component is physical or virtual.  Also, Cisco has assisted our team by providing integration information and joining us on client meetings so that a complete solution can be established. Please note that Taupo can work with any networking manufacturer and will work with the company of choice i.e. HP, 3Com etc however only Cisco can fully integrate to vSphere.

Summary

Before extending your virtual infrastructure to provide business continuity and desktop/application delivery, Taupo believes that a solid well-designed foundation is critical and that development of virtual infrastructure should be based upon best practice implementation. Planning is the key to successful deployments of any vendors virtual infrastructure.
