In this week's edition of Next Generation Tech-Talks, Scott Mohr from Cisco Systems joins Phil Calzadilla, CEO and Founder to discuss what was known Cliqr, which since purchased by Cisco is known as Cisco CloudCenter.

What is Cloudcenter?
“So CloudCenter really is designed to run at the top end of all of your infrastructure and it allows you to have a service catalog or a shopping cart-like experience for application deployments into many clouds. In fact, CloudCenter covers almost 19 different target clouds both public and private, and this allows us to truly enable or deliver the hybrid cloud strategy. We have many customers that are either born in the cloud or on the startup side and we can cover those customers if they're launching application workloads into Amazon or Google or Rackspace, etcetera, Azure. Or, we have customers that are only managing, let's say, private clouds on V-Center environments around the globe in multiple data centers.

What CloudCenter does is really disaggregates the application from the underlying cloud operating system, and as a result, we build an application profile that allows us to port that application to many clouds. So it's actually really cool technology 'cause it allows you to, rather than having to rewrite your apps for every cloud operating system like CloudStack and OpenStack and VMware, etcetera, you can now build a template once and serve many clouds.” - Scott Mohr from Cisco Systems.

Control Your Use of the Cloud
You can control everyone’s use of the cloud. With cost and usage limits, rules-based automation. With summary and drill down reporting by cloud, application, user or project.

Cloudcenter is a comprehensive governance control of all applications, clouds and users, all from one intuitive dashboard.
