With new breakthroughs in cloud-managed networking and unified technology experiences, Cisco Live highlighted its aim to empower IT teams to work smarter and simplify their operations.
At the premier networking and security event, Cisco announced new cloud management tools that give a unified experience across the Cisco Meraki, Cisco Catalyst, and Cisco Nexus portfolios, as well as a new Cisco ThousandEyes product to proactively forecast and improve WAN + performance. Cisco intends to provide clients with the agility, robustness, and productivity that their businesses require to prosper in the face of unpredictability by using the power of cloud-managed platforms.
“Our customers choose to run their businesses on Cisco technology because we sit at the intersection of networking, security and cloud”, said Todd Nightingale, EVP and GM, Cisco Enterprise Networking & Cloud. “We believe the network is the foundation for the modern enterprise and must deliver agility through simplicity. Cisco is addressing our customers' most important concern, which is managing complexity through smart, data-driven platforms that power a digital business”.
Redefining Cloud Management:
Cisco is improving its networking platforms so that clients may shift to more cloud-based operating models in a secure, logical, and seamless manner.
- With Cloud Management for Cisco Catalyst, clients can now monitor chosen Catalyst Switches and manage new Catalyst Wireless devices directly from the Meraki dashboard, giving them more visibility and flexibility. Customers who use campus and branch networking may now streamline their IT operations by integrating the best in cloud management with the best networking technology.
- Cisco Nexus Cloud is a cloud-managed platform supplied as a service that simplifies cloud networking deployment, management, and operation. Cisco Nexus Cloud will expand clients' capacity to manage across public cloud, private cloud, and edge computing environments of any size or scale, thanks to Cisco Intersight for best-in-class switching and multi-cloud administration.
For Predictive Future
Delivering outstanding digital experiences is more important than ever before. Poor customer or employee interactions establish negative impressions that are tough to change. IT departments need access to solutions that would allow them to stop reacting to networking issues and instead become proactive in preventing problems from harming their operations.
