Many enterprises prefer to deploy development workloads in the public cloud, primarily for convenience and faster deployment. This approach can cause concern for IT administrators, who must control the flow of IT traffic and spending and help ensure the security of data and intellectual property. Without the proper controls, data and intellectual property can escape this oversight. The Cisco Intercloud Fabric solution helps control this shadow IT, discovering resources deployed in the public cloud outside IT control and placing these resources under Cisco Intercloud Fabric control. Cisco Intercloud Fabric addresses the cloud deployment requirements appropriate for two hybrid cloud deployment models: Enterprise Managed (an enterprise manages its own cloud environments) and Service Provider Managed (the service provider administers and controls all cloud resources).
