Cisco Live in Amsterdam has provided the platform for the company to showcase its latest innovations to the EMEA region.
- Cisco Partner with US GSA for Hybrid Work
- Cisco Shows Off Webex Interoperability for Microsoft Teams
- Cisco’s Rugged Phone Series Provides Communications to Frontline Workers
Highlights of the event include Cisco detailing how it is preparing for a sustainable and digitally connected future, along with providing training in digital skills over the next ten years.
Cisco Live 2023 Amsterdam has allowed customers and partners to gain an insight into what Cisco has planned so they can adjust their ecosystems to fit the innovations.
Wendy Mars, President of Cisco’s EMEA region, said: "Our customers rely on us to keep them connected and secure, with uninterrupted access to the apps they need to run their businesses efficiently and to continue to adapt and grow.
"That trust is something we’ve forged over many years, and the close collaboration between our teams and our customers and partners fuels the innovation we have on display here in Amsterdam.
"Working together, we have the power to use technology to solve the world’s most profound challenges and to build a secure, digitally connected future that’s both sustainable and prosperous."
Full-Stack Observability Platform
Cisco has announced a preview of the Cisco Full-Stack Observability Platform during the event to allow customers and partners to gain knowledge and build their community.
The platform, scheduled for general availability in June 2023, allows teams to bring together telemetry data from their context and drive correlated insights across the entire IT estate.
AI-driven root cause analysis can be viewed in any type of infrastructure and multi-cloud configuration, along with performance impact and experience tracing through network issues and security vulnerabilities.
Liz Centoni, EVP, Chief Strategy Officer, and GM, Applications, commented:
"Organisations demand more integration points to understand what potential problems and vulnerabilities exist and how to fix them before they impact the company and send customers looking for a better experience somewhere else.
"Cisco Full-Stack Observability delivers insights with real business context — critical in a world where ‘experience’ is the new KPI."
According to Cisco, the Full-Stack Observability combines the most comprehensive telemetry data. It is driven by OpenTelemetry, which comes from the broad portfolio of Cisco capabilities and its ecosystem of partners and open-source tools.
The platform allows organisations to spawn an application ecosystem built on an open-source architecture.
Unlike data lakes, Cisco Full-Stack Observability is driven by use cases and business contexts calibrated to specific business outcomes rather than simply querying data itself.
Sustainable and Digitally Connected Future
During the Cisco Live 2023 event, the company announced Carbon Missions Insights in its Webex Control Hub.
The insights deliver actionable insights to allow organisations to meet their sustainability goals.
According to Cisco, it is the first to provide scope two emissions reporting. The solution also provides recommendations for optimising energy consumption and usage of Cisco Webex devices.
In Amsterdam, Cisco will showcase Cisco Refresh and Cisco Green Pay programs, energy-saving dashboards focused on visibility and automation, and an interactive sustainability simulator so attendees can see the impact of each solution on a model network.
Automation for Industrial IoT
Cisco states that organisations are extending their networks to new places as they need to connect core enterprise operations to industrial spaces.
These organisations are also prioritising sustainability and resiliency in their operations and, as a result, are driving the need for greater visibility across their environments.
