Cisco's New Collaborative Experience

The event included a series of interactive sessions to see the new innovations and services from Cisco. We had a look at how you could transform your business with a Collaboration architecture from Cisco.

Cisco delivers a new approach in the 'Post-PC' era that:

• Provides a new collaborative workspace that is inherently more "mobile, social, visual, and virtual".
• Understands the individual nature of the employee's workspace, and provides the best possible experience as people change roles, locations and devices.
• Delivers the needed security and integration within the existing IT landscape while also adding value.
• Is built for the long term and capable of extending support to new devices, applications, and interaction styles as they emerge and evolve.

Webinar recording and presentations coming soon.

Cisco Virtualisation Experience Infrastructure (VXI)

The Technical Community Forum focused on Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI). We took a closer look at how Cisco's Data Centre, Borderless Networks and Collaboration Architectures allow customers to move from traditional Virtual Desktops with separate Video, Voice and Data to a fully integrated experience on one infrastructure.

The TCF's topics covered the following:

• How each of Cisco architectures compliment VXI and discussion on the current and future roadmap for Data Centre, Borderless Networks and Collaboration Architectures
• The phased approach to allow customers to move to an integrated VXI Video & Voice and Virtual Desktop Experience
• Demonstrations of the VXI solution in action
• Architectural blueprints for VXI based on validated designs with industry leading partners such as EMC, Netapp, Citrix, VMWare, WYSE, Atlantis and Appsense.

Borderless Networks

Cisco's new innovations in Video, Security and Management

During the webcast we learnt how Cisco solutions and services can further enhance your network's ability to meet the needs of the emerging borderless organisation, connecting anyone, anywhere, anytime and with their preferred device, securely, reliably and seamlessly.

These new innovations will enable your organisation to innovate and improve its IT efficiency by:

• Enhancing organisational agility, securing and enabling a wider variety of devices with new multimedia innovations.
• Increase workplace efficiencies with collaboration and productivity tools that let you take advantage of more business opportunities.

The Technical Community Forum's interactive sessions discussed these innovation announcements and a technical deep dive into the new solutions.

Data Centre

Delivering architectural flexibility in the Data Centre to support any workload, any application and any location, in a simple, scalable and secure manner.

Cisco pioneered the vision of Ethernet-based "Unified Fabric" within the Data Centre over three years ago. Subsequently Cisco introduced Unified Computing and Unified Network Services, all of which have formed the building blocks for Cisco's Data Centre Business Advantage framework.

At the TCF seminars we learnt how Cisco can help your organisation to break through traditional business compromises and engage with your customers in new ways by increasing IT agility whilst at the same time reducing cost.

Collaboration

Organisations are being forced to manage a broad range of business complexities: information and content overload, communication/application silos, an increasingly mobile and dispersed workforce, accelerating innovation and time to market and, of course, driving sustainable growth in an increasingly competitive environment.

Employees continue to bring new devices, applications and ways of working into the business because they've grown accustomed to using them in their personal lives, causing security and integration issues.

These kinds of challenges require organisations to change the way they work; from the transaction-oriented era of the last decade, to a more interaction-oriented era, which is why collaboration has become more critical than ever.

At the Technical Community Forum on Collaboration we learned how Cisco's solutions can help your organisation address these challenges.
