Cisco Advances Networking and Security with New AI Capabilities

In a bold move towards its vision for a Cisco Networking Cloud, Cisco has announced a series of new integrations and capabilities in its networking and security solutions. This recent development aims to cater to increasingly complex applications and network environments by bringing together advanced AI-driven technologies and unified management platforms.

Unified AI-Driven Cloud Platform

With IT environments becoming more intricate, Cisco has created a solution that allows IT teams to effectively manage both campus and branch networks through a single, AI-enhanced cloud platform. The enhancements in Cisco's wireless and switching portfolios are designed to streamline operations, making the management of secure networking technologies more efficient and user-friendly.

Enhancement in Networking and Security

Cisco's innovation doesn't stop at unified management solutions. It also introduces new features that deepen the integration between networking and security, emphasizing the convergence of these two critical IT domains. For instance, Cisco Secure Access now works seamlessly with Cisco Networking Cloud, offering a more cohesive management experience and enabling the automation of monitoring for digital experiences. These integrations are equipped with insights sourced from network, device, and application performance metrics.

Simplifying Operations

Part of Cisco's initiative is to simplify IT operations by converging management platforms, aiming for a consistent portfolio experience. A notable addition is Cloud Monitoring for Catalyst Wireless, a capability that allows viewing and managing select Catalyst wireless devices from the Meraki dashboard. This enforces a comprehensive cloud-managed perspective of access networks, furthering Cisco's aim towards a unified, cloud-based management approach.

Empowering AI with Scalable Infrastructure

Recognizing the growing importance of AI, Cisco introduces new technologies to support AI/ML workloads with scalable infrastructure solutions. Cisco UCS X-Series Direct and Cisco AI Validated Designs exemplify Cisco's effort to provide robust and optimized infrastructures for a variety of AI-driven enterprise applications. These offerings are especially designed for those looking to harness the power of AI without being hindered by infrastructure constraints.
