Cisco Intercloud Fabric
Cisco Intercloud Fabric architecture is available in two configurations to address enterprise and service provider
customers:
●
Cisco Intercloud Fabric for Business
●
Cisco Intercloud Fabric for Providers
Cisco Intercloud Fabric for Business is intended for enterprise customers who want to transparently extend their
private clouds to provider cloud environments. Cisco Intercloud Fabric for Providers is intended for provider-
managed cloud environments, to allow the service provider’s enterprise customers to transparently extend their
managed cloud environments, to allow the service provider’s enterprise customers to transparently extend their
private cloud environments into the provider's cloud.
This document focuses on an enterprise customer deployment environment and therefore discusses only Cisco
Intercloud Fabric for Business.
