Cisco’s one-of-a-kind conference, Cisco Live EMEA 2024 in Amsterdam, marked a pivotal milestone in illuminating the path forward with a spotlight on AI, operational simplicity, and security.
Bringing key network telemetry and correlating it with the business outcomes has become quite essential for Modern Enterprises and CloudFabrix addressed this by launching three new modules for the Cisco Observability Platform.
The three modules are namely:
- Asset Intelligence
- Operational Intelligence
- Infrastructure Observability
Asset Intelligence Module:
This module provides visibility into datacenter-wide assets and their interdependence, critical to Day 0 operations. Some of the benefits of using this module are
- Real-Time Cross-domain Topology Discovery
- Application and IT Infrastructure Dependency Mapping
- Tracking Asset Inventory
- Change Management
- Capacity Utilization
- Lifecycle Analytics (End of Sale/End of Life)
- License Management.
Operational Intelligence Module:
This module optimizes Day 1 & 2 Ops and provides Full Stack Observability and Event Correlation across full stack which helps in reducing the noise.
Some benefits of using this module are:
- Event Correlation across multiple cross-domain tools
- Reduces TCO
- Observe data from multiple APM, ITOM tools & legacy IT assets with Open Telemetry using Cisco Observability Platform
Infrastructure Observability Module:
The Infrastructure Observability Module helps in converting any new data source to OpenTelemetry data format which helps enterprises to consolidate their tool stack. Some benefits of using this module are:
- Single Pane of Glass for Computing, Virtualization, Networking, and Storage Infrastructure
- Accelerate Data Integration
- Providing insights quickly with dynamic Data Ingestion and Automation (DIA) service
Let’s dive into the other important announcements/highlights from the Cisco Live 2024 event;
Cisco gets an AI upgrade with Nvidia:
Cisco has forged a partnership with Nvidia the leading manufacturer of semiconductors to upgrade Cisco’s data centers with the new age infrastructure that supports advanced AI capabilities.
Increased focus on Security:
With connectivity technologies like WiFi-6 & 5G gaining traction, implementing additional security measures has become necessary. As a result, a new offering called Cisco Email Threat Defense, leveraging AI to detect threats on email, has been launched. Additionally, Cisco quickly caught up with the AI trend and included an AI assistant in its Secure Access platform.
Prioritizing Sustainability:
With enterprises across the globe trying to adopt eco-friendly solutions and become a carbon neutral enterprise Cisco’s Silicon One solutions helps in tracking the IT devices usage and offer organizations a path to optimize their energy usage while increasing their savings.
Enhancing Productivity & Customer Experience:
Being a Customer Centric solution Cisco launched Cisco ThousandEyes Endpoint Agent and the platform navigator for managing the network in a unified way as this helps improve network performance and visibility of Cisco ecosystem applications/services.
