Partners Stunned By Cisco Password Snafu

Partners are scratching their heads as Cisco reveals that servers send wrong with the default password of customers for over seven weeks.

"It's very rare that Cisco - has never happened before," said Jamie Shepard, senior vice president of health care and the strategy for Lumenate, Cisco partner based in Addison Texas ,. "It is rare overall, the evidence and [quality assurance] in the team has been very strong."

From November 17, 2015, to January 6, 2016, the networking giant based in San Jose California, has sent a number of C-series servers - including UCS - a password unknown to their clients default , prevented administrators to connect to their servers.

The default password is supposed to be "password" but had changed Cisco exam dumps "Cisco 1234" sometime in November without telling their customers.

"I have not seen this many times - it seems rather odd," said Robert Keblusek, Sentinel Technologies based in Downers Grove Illinois ,, CTO of Cisco Gold Partner.

In a statement to CRN, Cisco said the January 11, 2016 a notice warning that customer passwords were poorly provisioned factory locations was issued.

"Cisco has taken the necessary corrective measures in the areas of the plant and also proactive measures to inform customers eliminate disturbances in the server rack deployments of Cisco measures," the company said in a statement.

The alert also describes solutions to solve the problem, even if the network provider does not explain the reason behind the error password.

CRN partners said they expect the problem of having little or no impact on their business from Cisco.

"I see a client self-display that has a problem and the need to open support tickets in a row, but generally have excellent communications with Cisco and hear about these things early enough not threaten our implementation team" , Keblusek said. "I have not heard of an impact, delay or embarrassment in the field of our views. Our deployments continue as usual."

Shepard speculated that the issue could have been due to a rate of mass adoption of Cisco UCS.

"This is just a sample of how people have taken swift UCS because they are free of features and functionality," Shepard said.

Cisco introduced its popular UCS solution in 2009. In its most recent quarterly results in November, Cisco reported its data center operations, including UCS, rose 24 percent in the year to $ 859 million.

"Maybe it was a mistake because of the way customers are just loving UCS and have had zero problems since its launch," Shepard said.

Checking in with Cisco’s Metacloud

Last year Cisco bought Metacloud to create an OpenStack Private Cloud division:

Like almost all technology vendors there, Cisco is looking to build its cloud story.A key part of this strategy last year was the acquisition of Metacloud, a company that specializes in offering private clouds based on OpenStack . I sat down with director Scott Sanchez Metacloud strategy recently to catch up on how you exercise.There is a big difference between Metacloud and many other private cloud offerings on the market: Cisco will handle your private cloud for you. The controller hardware - which is composed of a pair of Cisco UCS servers, a router ASR and Nexus 9000 switch - is located in the data center customers, but is managed remotely by Cisco OpenStack Private Cloud Team. In fact, Cisco centrally manages all Metacloud private clouds.

The idea is to give the public an experience like Amazon Web Services cloud, where the company manages all the necessary software for the cloud. But the hardware is in the customer premises. Beyond the controller hardware, customers can use their existing infrastructure for scalability of private cloud, or Cisco UCS can use additional servers or black-boxes. When developers need a virtual machine or additional storage, rotating upward from Metacloud. Cisco equipment is constantly releasing updates to the software in the cloud, which is based on OpenStack, add new features.

It's not a completely unique approach to the market: IBM recently bought OpenStack BlueBox provider that has a similar model that doubles as a private cloud service. Newcomer to the market Platform9 has a similar remote management private cloud offering. It is in stark comparison to a private cloud VMware offering, that provides management tools for customers to rotate and manage their own private clouds.

The ultimate goal is for Cisco to connect these Metaclouds with cloud offerings from Cisco Intercloud - the company's effort to build a series of connected public cloud offerings in the market. There integrations for customers to link Meta Cloud AWS or Microsoft Azure también.Esperar to see progress over Intercloud Meta Cloud and move forward - that seems to be an area of Cisco is committed to under the new leadership of CEO Chuck Robbins .
