Cisco and BMC join forces for cloud computing

Cisco and BMC Software have teamed up to support large-scale cloud computing multi-tenant infrastructure. Under the alliance, both companies said they will align product development plans and technology architectures. This, he said, will offer customers worldwide a set of products that claim will simplify and automate the delivery of services in the cloud.

Based on existing joint solutions, Cisco also resell BMC Software Assurance services and compliance solutions as an option in the Cisco Unified Computing System.

As part of the alliance, Cisco and BMC has introduced the Integrated Delivery Platform Cloud. The couple says they have been designed to meet the needs of service providers and large-scale private media of cloud computing.

Bob Beauchamp, president and CEO of BMC Software, said: “As cloud computing takes place from a strategic idea to business reality, companies are quickly discovering the complexity of deploying and managing cloud solutions in a hybrid data center.”

Padmasree Warrior, CTO, senior vice president and general manager of Enterprise, Trade and Small Business, Cisco said. “Cisco and BMC has a common vision for the advancement of cloud computing with a unified infrastructure management combined with a Seamless Cloud Integrated Delivery Platform allows our customers implement end-to-end IT services that run in a cloud infrastructure spanning networks, systems, storage and applications. “

Cisco delivers high-definition video call to the US

Telepresence. Now that’s a word we haven’t heard much since the 90s… Looks like science fact has finally caught up with science fiction though as U.S. electronics company and heavyweight VoIP provider Cisco announces “umi” – a device and service combo they’re calling a “home telepresence system”.

In layman’s terms it’s video calling, through your telly.

Umi, pronounced “you-me”, has some pretty impressive specs. There are two parts – a set top box which is, basically, a dedicated computer and a separateTV mounted camera. With up to 1080p video, it’ll plug directly into any HDMI TV. The resolution scales dynamically, based on available bandwidth. Built in microphone and speakers pick up your words of greeting and send them over the ether via the Internet to your Umi owning friends and family. Alternatively, you can connect to PC users as long as they have a web cam and Google Video Chat.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve never felt quite comfortable with video calls – either on my computer or mobile (and Faisal’s views on the subject are just a couple of blog entries down the page) – but this seems like a distinctive step up from the poxy, pixelated video calling we’ve all been used to. With HD quality on your flat screen TV, we can imagine this being a much more immersive, engaging experience. If it works.

Of course, it ain’t cheap. $599 for the kit and $24.99 a month for the service subscription. And it’s not available in the UK. In fact, the only real reason we’re blogging about it is to say “Ooh, look at that. Cool”.
