LIVE "Ask the Expert" Event October 21

On October 21, 2009, Cisco expert Edison Ortiz will provide an update on best practices for campus quality of service (QoS) with Cisco switches. QoS has proved a foundational network infrastructure technology required to support the transparent convergence of voice, video, and data networks. QoS has also proved to complement and strengthen the overall security of a network.

As business needs continue to evolve and expand, however, they place new demands on QoS technologies and designs. Join this event to get the latest news about how Cisco switches are evolving to meet those demands.
