Unified Workspace Architectural Approach
Support New Mobile Devices, Securely
Educational organizations now must accommodate a growing number of students, employees, contractors, and parents who expect to connect to networks regardless of who owns the device. Now you can deliver mobile experiences "your way" to more users on more devices. The Cisco Intelligent Network makes it easy.
Cisco can help your organization deliver “work your way” experiences for users through a combination of:
- The Cisco Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Smart Solution
- The Cisco Virtualization Experience Infrastructure (VXI) Smart Solution
- Collaboration applications such as Cisco WebEx and Cisco Jabber solutions
- Cisco Unified Workspace delivers a spectrum of capabilities to meet every work style
Cisco offers easy deployment, improved performance, simplified policy controls, and an uncomplicated user experience so that students, employees and the community can have secure access to data, applications and streaming video from anywhere.
