Cisco Systems has had a testy relationship with its longtime partner VMware in the battle for software-defined networking customers, but CEO Chuck Robbins suggested Thursday that this may be changing.
As CRN reported last month, several joint customers have begun deploying Cisco’s and VMware’s SDN technologies side by side to solve specific business challenges. On VMware’s earnings call in April, CEO Pat Gelsinger said SugarCreek and Shutterfly are examples of customers that are using both versions of SDN.
