Explore customer stories
Modernize data center networks
"We needed an entirely new network architecture. We have a tremendous amount of flexibility for customer deployments and seamless workload portability—across regions, data centers, and clouds."
"We need the ability to see the big picture, and if something goes wrong, we need to know exactly where to look instead of poking around and hoping to get lucky."
"Cisco developed NBM and I think it’s a perfect way of running an IP infrastructure for broadcast. It’s a non-blocking infrastructure with mechanisms to protect flow policies."
"The Nexus platform allows us to scale out to faster speeds and bandwidth. It also lets us utilize higher buffer rates to ensure that all of our data—whether it’s storage, video, voice, or audio—is sent seamlessly throughout our network."
Deliver essential IP-based broadcast production capabilities that meet a broadcaster's goals and requirements, with Cisco IP Fabric for Media, network infrastructure, and powerful APIs.
