The Intercloud network will offer a suite of analytics, security and data sovereignty architectures to support the Internet of Everything, Cisco said Monday.
Telstra, Canopy, Logicalis Group, MicroStrategy Inc., OnX Managed Services are among the technology firms that have signed up for Cisco’s cloud partner network.

Cisco designed the suite to utilize its OpenStack platform and Application Center Infrastructure for customers to address compliance, auditing and mobility issues.
