Greater network performance

The latest in technology, AI, and infrastructure

Faster networks are arriving faster

The adoption of 400G technology, leveraging PAM4 modulation and double-density optical modules, has significantly enhanced cloud services by quadrupling bandwidth while only doubling the signal bit rate.¹This rapid evolution paves the way for a seamless transition to 800G, promising even greater network performance as businesses modernize data centers for ever-increasing workloads.

Proactive, resilient, and on time: Three ways Cisco Services helps design for a decisive advantage

1. Coles — retail

“Together with the Cisco Services team, we created dashboards to bring [our] data together… The time-to-resolution has gone from days, weeks, or even not knowing to being able to identify the issue in hours. We’re becoming even more proactive. Team members don’t even have to call us and tell us we’ve got an issue. We already know.”²

— Andrew Greaney, Head of Core Technology Services, Coles

Coles innovates in retail

Together, the Coles and Cisco teams have successfully helped to ensure a stable and proactive network environment for one of Australia’s largest retailers.

2. Workday — technical services

“We’ve been able to do some really good automation, which is getting us to the actual Services as Code framework… Cisco’s CX [Cisco Services] team really leaned in with us, and I encouraged my team to lean in with them. The most significant outcome: it’s all consistent, it’s all based on our standard templates. The three main benefits that we get from automation are security, resiliency, and consistency. For our customers it results in a better, more stable network and a more secure network.”³

3. United Airlines — transportation

“We can only make changes four months out of the year and we only get four hours to make those big changes and CX [Cisco Services] is standing right in our partnership with us to make sure we can deliver those big changes. CX gives us that guidance to get it set up right the first time. It is a very complicated infrastructure… The key outcome with Cisco CX is that they deliver on time.” ⁴

— Dan Field, Director of Platform and Network Engineering, United Airlines
