Cisco Champion Radio

Your network works for you. Your network has all the data it needs to make it a better network. However, with people coming and going, your network environment becomes a living and breathing entity that is dynamic based on the number of users, the demand for bandwidth and other environmental changes that happen over time. If your network does not adjust to these changes, performance suffers for all devices including IoT and user devices. A solution is needed that continually monitors and optimizes the network to these changes providing the best operational efficiency.  

 

Tune in to this episode to learn how Cisco has optimized RRM, leveraging Artificial Intelligence to adaptively optimize your wireless network. As a part of Cisco DNA Center AI-Enhanced RRM uses historical data, AP density and other trends to provide the best wireless experience in a dynamic environment.

Networks can be complex and often unpredictable. Traffic from over-the-top applications, automated systems, malicious attacks, or variations from simple operational errors can have unforeseen effects on traffic flows. Network providers need effective tools to consume and correlate this critical traffic data at scale and at low operational cost. 

Join Cisco Champions and the experts as they discuss Cisco Crosswork Cloud, a powerful addition to any network operations using always-on, always-up to date, SaaS-based services to help improve routing health, increase network visibility, maintain trustworthy infrastructure, and generate network traffic insights.

Cisco is focused on full-stack observability with business context. Business context is the ability to map service capabilities and quality across digital applications and infrastructure, with insights to the real business impact experienced by the end user, whether internal worker, external partner, or end customer  

 

Join Champions and Cisco Fellow Carlos Perieira as they uncover what it means, how it works and discuss how it helps operations teams via our end-to-end observability approach and deliverables, while minimizing or eliminating issues before they happen.

Counterfeiting hardware and software is an illegal and lucrative trade which leads to an estimated $100B loss of revenue annually across IT industries. As one of the largest and most reputable brands in the world, Cisco is often a target of counterfeiters. 

  

For all end-users across Cisco’s ecosystem, counterfeiting presents serious risks to network quality, performance, safety, and reliability. It is dangerous because counterfeit products are not designed or built to meet the same safety standard certifications that genuine Cisco products attain.  

  

The Cisco Brand Protection team partners closely with both law enforcement and customs officials around the world to stop counterfeit products at borders, identify counterfeiting operations, and pursue legal actions against infringers of Cisco’s intellectual property rights, including trademarks. Our goal is to actively support our partners and customers in protecting their investment in Cisco solutions. 

 

In this episode of Cisco Champion Radio we’ll talk about how counterfeiting impacts the IT industry, explore how Cisco safeguards against counterfeit products, and explore best practices to consider when purchasing Cisco goods and services.
