Cisco to link all future products to its SaaS-y Cloud Control management tool

The networking giant announced Cloud Control in June 2025 and only made it available to customers in the USA. Cisco has previously told The Register that slow rollout reflects the fact that Cisco needs to nail privacy and other regulatory niceties, and deploy infrastructure, before introducing the service to other markets. It appears Cisco is now satisfied it has sorted out those issues.

Jeff Schultz, Cisco’s senior vice president for portfolio strategy and marketing, today told the company’s Live conference in Australia that Cloud Control will come online in the European Union, UK, and Down Under in February 2027. Japan, India, and Canada will get their turn in May. Schultz said Cisco is “working tirelessly” to deploy Cloud Control across the world as soon as possible.
