Cisco to Sell HashiCorp Terraform Cloud with the Cisco Intersight Platform

HashiCorp, the leader in multi-cloud infrastructure automation software, announced it has entered into a multi-year agreement with Cisco, in which Cisco will sell HashiCorp Terraform Cloud Business alongside the Cisco Intersight platform. The agreement will help customers achieve a hybrid cloud operating model using Terraform’s infrastructure as code for infrastructure provisioning and management of private datacenters with Cisco Intersight.

“HashiCorp is delighted to expand our commercial agreement with Cisco, a critical provider of compute infrastructure, networking, and security solutions in private datacenters. Together, we are working to help solve the challenges that large organizations face when running both public cloud and private datacenter environments,” said Brandon Sweeney, chief revenue officer at HashiCorp. “Through this agreement, we are excited to deliver proven solutions to accelerate the delivery of a cloud operating model for our joint customers.”

Organizations adopt Terraform infrastructure as code because they are challenged by inconsistent, error-prone provisioning practices across multiple environments. Offered as a service, Terraform Cloud allows teams and organizations to provision multi-cloud infrastructure, and manage risks for security, compliance, and operational constraints. Organizations are looking to extend these capabilities to their private environments as well.

The Cisco Intersight platform delivers intelligent visualization, optimization, and orchestration for applications and infrastructure in hybrid and on-premises environments via a consistent, SaaS-delivered cloud operations platform. The Cisco Intersight Service for Terraform will offer a bridge to easily and securely integrate on-premises environments with Terraform Cloud Business, and enable IT Ops and DevOps teams to automate infrastructure provisioning using infrastructure as code across hybrid cloud.
