Bespoke Hybrid Deployments of Collaboration Tools
Traditional thinking has been that Software as a Service products couldn’t be isolated because they’re connected to the internet for updates and patching as regularly as a customer wants. But Cisco is fine-tuning the software engineering practice of continuous integration and continuous delivery into what it’s calling CI/CD/CD.
That second deployment — in this case, Webex — is into environments with boundaries that will enforce the DOD’s or national security agencies’ controls, says Dan Carney, vice president of engineering and head of the Webex air-gap project at Cisco.
The result is a bespoke hybrid deployment of the standard Webex product that enables remote work, even when top-secret information is involved.
“We are hearing from our customers that that’s a super exciting prospect for them,” Carney says.
