"Cisco is working with its partners to build the Intercloud-an interconnected, global, 'cloud of clouds' connecting private, public, and hybrid clouds," said Padmasree Warrior, chief technology & strategy officer at Cisco. "As the cloud industry pivots towards open source technology, Cisco and Red Hat are expanding our relationship and accelerating collaboration around OpenStack, Application Centric Infrastructure and Intercloud."

Additionally, an expansion of the current UCS portfolio brings new levels of power and scalability for a wide range of data center workloads by unveiling new fourth-generation UCS Rack and Blade Servers for application performance, and new UCS Director solutions to manage Big Data infrastructure workloads.

Besides, it was unanimous that the office should be a reference in innovation, reinventing the workspace without fixed desks. Laptop, softphone, videoconferencing and other collaboration tools should have a highlighting position into the workspace. "In companies like Smiles, operating in a dynamic environment and innovation ambience, to be able to offer the right tools to ensure productivity is critical," said Ricardo Amaral, director of A. Telecom, Cisco's partner on the platform deployment.

The new ICT (Information and Communications Technology) infrastructure projects have been premised on delivering greater comfort for both internal and external users, regardless of whether or not they were at their service and production workstations. Thus, several small projects that previously ran separately were integrated into the proposed revision of the wired network and Wi-Fi installation, in order to support a new unified communications system, supporting data, voice and videoconferencing in all five offices.

"Today's military system integrators have two seemingly contradictory challenges: deploy more networked intelligent capabilities for the warfighter and reduce the space, weight, power and cost of those systems," said Lynn Bamford, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Defense Solutions division. "Our new DuraWORX 10-10, with its high performance mission computer and Cisco IOS network router housed in a single compact chassis, offers system integrators a means to achieve both goals without compromising performance or budget."

With a highly secure encryption system, service provider signals can be protected from illegal transmissions, and can ensure the use of lower bandwidth for encryption, which may result in lower operating costs.

The ISB 7105 series is a high-performance and cost-effective family of HD set-top boxes, including the latest integrated Wi-Fi technology for wireless IP access.

Key Findings

Cisco introduced the first two members of its 16G fibre channel family- Cisco MDS 9710 Multilayer Director and MDS 9250i MultiServices Switch‑ in 2013. With today's announcement of the Cisco MDS 9148S Multilayer Fabric Switch, Cisco MDS 9706 Director, and the Cisco MDS 9700 FCoE module, Cisco has a complete 16G portfolio from top-of-rack small SAN switches to the largest SAN products. Furthermore, Cisco provides a complete end-to-end unified data center fabric that is powered by the same NX-OS operating system across its award-winning product line-Cisco Nexus for data center Ethernet networking, Cisco MDS for storage networking, and Cisco UCS for compute.

Today's launch underscores Cisco's commitment to delivering high-impact certification and training programs for IT and OT networking professionals and learners. New offerings help workers gain capabilities essential for performing critical activities now, while also building the expertise needed to successfully perform future IT, OT and networking roles.
