New Technologies for the Modern Enterprise
Today,
Cisco shared new technologies at Cisco Live across its networking,
security, collaboration, and optimized applications portfolio that
help organizations drive the productivity, resiliency and agility
required in today's hybrid world. These new technologies power an
inclusive future, delivering:
- Unified experiences: Today's business environment is
predictably unpredictable, and business agility and resiliency have
never been more important. Today Cisco announced new cloud
management capabilities that provide a unified experience across
the Cisco Meraki, Cisco Catalyst, and Cisco Nexus portfolios – and
a new Cisco ThousandEyes product for advanced optimization of WAN
performance .

industry's first phone for hybrid work – the Cisco Video Phone 8875

desking is becoming the new normal in the workplace. Advancements
to Webex Calling, part of the Webex Suite, improve work
flexibility, reliability, and audio. Integration of ThousandEyes
into Webex Control Hub provides better experiences for Webex Suite
users by empowering IT admins to proactively monitor app
performance issues. Salesforce and Oracle Eloqua are now integrated

productivity.

AppDynamics Cloud, a cloud-native observability platform for modern
applications which are based on increasingly complex, distributed
architectures and services. Designed for simplicity, usability, and
intuitiveness, it empowers IT teams to deliver the exceptional
digital experiences currently demanded by businesses, consumers and
end users.
- New free open-source, API-first developer solutions:
Applications are no longer simply an extension of the brand or an
added channel to engage customers - today applications are the
business. Available today, Cisco's Panoptica app and Calisti app,
the latest additions to Cisco's suite of cloud-native, API-first
tools that result in faster application development cycles, and
provide businesses with modern application connectivity, security,
and observability that is critical for exceptional digital
experiences.

work stations to test the latest technology that enables a new way
of working.

- Asynchronous video messaging: With meeting fatigue more
prevalent than ever, solutions that increase productivity and
flexibility in the workday are much needed. Vidcast, part of the
Webex Suite, enables users to easily record, edit and share video
messages — all without waiting for calendars to align to meet live.
For the first time, Cisco will preview its AI-powered editing
features that will make it even easier for users to create polished
videos - with the ability to use the transcript to clip/edit the
video, remove filler words, and in the near term, leverage custom
