With two different server tiers, you have several options for deploying the application in a hybrid cloud environment. 

The validated scenario is discussed later in this document.

System Components 

The Cisco Intercloud Fabric solution can be deployed in a wide variety of data center and cloud configurations. The 

supported configurations and versions are listed in the Cisco Intercloud Fabric release notes: 

This document covers validation using the following data center, cloud, and application configurations: 

● 

Cisco Intercloud Fabric for Business Release 2.2.1 

● 

VMware vSphere

–based private cloud 

◦ 

VMware vSphere 5.5 Update 2 

◦ 

VMware virtual device switch (VDS) 

◦ 

Cisco UCS

®

 blade servers 

● 

Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the public cloud 

● 

osCommerse e-business application 

◦ 

CentOS 6.4 64-bit system with Apache and PHP (front end) 

◦ 

CentOS 6.4 64-bit system with MySQL database (back end) 

 

Figure 3 shows the high-level design of the application deployment. In this design, the application servers are 

deployed in two different network segments (VLANs). A Cisco

®

 router (physical or virtual) provides the routing 

between the two application tiers. The backend MySQL servers are deployed only on premises, and the front-end 

Apache and PHP servers are deployed in both the private and public clouds. Cisco Intercloud Fabric is configured 

to securely extend the front-end network segment across the two clouds.
