Powering Hybrid Work
Enabling the Future of Work
Hybrid Work Briefing
Most organizations have identified hybrid work, in which employees split time between the office and remote work, as a key component of their reopening plans. Yet, few leaders have a clear strategy in place to support a hybrid workforce. That's why WWT developed our Hybrid Work Spectrum, a tool that helps organizations visualize their balance between on-site and remote workers so they can determine their requirements and priorities for safety preparedness, technology acquisition and budget allocation. This briefing is designed to help organizations understand where they land on the Hybrid Work Spectrum and provide guidance on what's needed to successfully transition to long-term flexible working.
Safe Return to Work/School and the Workplace of the Future Briefing
The world has changed. Explore common sense solutions and leverage your technology to provide a safe and secure environment for your employees or students. Furthermore, see how these changes can be utilized to create a workplace/workspace of the future.
Digital Workspace Strategy
Bring together IT and line-of-business leaders to create an actionable strategy for improving the digital workspace.

Cisco Umbrella: Secure Branch (SASE Lab Series)
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), coined by Gartner in 2019, is a solution that blends networking and security into cloud scale architecture that optimizes end user performance and improves security for an organization. Cisco Umbrella is a SASE solution that combines edge networking, domain name system (DNS) enforcement, cloud-delivered firewall (CDFW), and secure web gateway (SWG) capabilities to connect, protect, and secure remote offices and users. The SASE Lab Series will look to explore the capabilities of the solution to provide you with a "rubber meets road" understanding of these technologies and how SASE can be applied in your company.

Cisco ISE 2.6 to 3.1 Migration Lab
This is a Cisco Identity Service Engine (ISE) version 2.6 lab migrating to version ISE 3.1. In this lab, we will show how to migrate an ISE server to version 3.1. After migrating, we will step through how to setup basic policy including: Authentication, Authorization and MAB. This setup will show some of the differences between ISE 2.X UI and the new 3.X UI as well as make note of best practices, and how to avoid common pitfalls with this migration.

The intended goal of this lab is to introduce network architects and DevOps engineers in taking the first step to automate, simplify and streamline the provisioning and configuration of networking platforms such as Cisco IOS XE, Cisco Nexus and Cisco ACI.
Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela) Foundations Lab
The Cisco SD-WAN Foundations Lab is a capability of the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Cisco's SD-WAN solution. The environment that supports the lab is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.
Network Service Orchestrator Lab (NSO)
The Cisco Network Service Orchestrator (NSO), formerly known as Tail-F, is a powerful service orchestration engine. Service Providers use it to deliver and manage services across their networks. However, many enterprises have adopted NSO for large-scale operations tasks and their own service management needs. This lab environment is used to support WWT's NSO workshop and training content. You can also use it for general NSO learning and experimenting with NSO service models.

Cisco Security Labs
SASE Architecture: Cisco Viptela SD-WAN With Palo Alto Prisma (SSE) Lab
First coined in 2019, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) is the convergence of network and security frameworks. SASE aims to reduce the operational complexity that comes with a cloud-first delivery model. Application assurance and service optimization are achieved via global Point-of-Presence (POPs) and peering with carriers providing high-performance backbones. The combination of all these factors gives the user a consistent and secure experience no matter where they are located.
SASE Architecture: Cisco Viptela SD-WAN With Zscaler (SSE) Lab
Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), coined by Gartner in 2019, is a solution that blends networking and security into cloud scale architecture that optimizes end user performance and improves security for an organization. With the Zscaler and SD-WAN integration, you can rapidly gain access to cloud-delivered security in minutes. This market leading API automation makes it very fast and agile to deploy and manage the network and security environment of hundreds or even thousands of remote sides.

ThousandEyes has hundreds of agents located around the world customers can use in addition customers can install enterprise agents that are only available for testing products within our Advanced Technology Center (ATC). For this lab, ThousandEyes was set up using a few of the cloud agents in different parts of the world. Each agent runs a script that interacts with the TeaStore website.
NEXUS Dashboard, NEXUS Insights and AppDynamics Lab
Over the years, Cisco has developed various ACI tools (now for DCNM and NX-OS and eventually public cloud visibility) known as the day 2 operations suite. The tools are Network Assurance Engine (NAE) and NEXUS Insights (NI is now the combination of Network Insights Resources (NIR) and Network insights Advisor (NIA)). Cisco has embarked on combining NAE and NI into a single pane of glass view and providing sharable data lakes for all apps, allowing for correlating application performance and fabric events.
