Speaking on the initiative, Yasser Zeineldin, CEO, eHosting DataFort said, “With this implementation, our customers can overall expect improved operational efficiency, greater productivity, increased scalability as well as improved security. We are confident that Cisco ACI will help us deliver an enhanced experience to our customers who will benefit from this solution.”

With Cisco ACI, the company aims to deliver application-centric security automation to its data centre. The solution will provide automated and pre-defined policy-based security provisioning for next-generation firewall services, enabling transparent security services insertion anywhere in the network fabric with single-pane-of-glass network management for full visibility on security policy enforcement.
