The Data Center Network (DCN) is essential for supporting high-performance workloads, including Artificial Intelligence (AI). This briefing will explore next-generation data center architectures, highlighting the advantages of using an underlay/overlay topology and controller-based management. As DCN architectures become more complex, day-two operations software becomes increasingly necessary. This session will provide an overview of DCN hardware, architectures, and day-two operations, along with a brief introduction to the most commonly seen DCN OEMs in enterprise data centers.

Consider how Cisco Spaces turns Cisco wireless and collaboration infrastructure into smart-space insight. WWT is an end-to-end integrator for Cisco Spaces. In this briefing, we provide a primer on how we asess readiness, design the architecture, deploy the IoT and wireless infrastructure, and operationalize occupancy and wayfinding outcomes.

Consumers' expectations for seamless, surprisingly delightful experiences continue to spiral ever higher. For contact centers, consumers bring expectations that your agents already know who they are, and that they can hop across various channels to get answers to their questions and fixes their problems. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key technology that can be used to address these challenges, increase CSAT and Net Promoter scores, decrease agent turnover and reduce process inefficiencies through the use of virtual agents and agent augmentation.

Software-defined WAN offers organizations flexible connectivity, facilitates cloud strategies and improves application performance, all in a secure environment. It also can improve operational efficiencies and help control or reduce WAN costs. Approaches to SD-WAN implementation and supported capabilities vary from one OEM to another. This briefing will explore four of the top SD-WAN vendors and highlight the innovative features that set each of their solutions apart, including a live demonstration of our on-demand SD-WAN lab environments and explanation of how to access them.

Organizations depend on their campuses and branches not only as operational hubs but as vital touchpoints for employees and customers. A poor experience at these locations can erode brand trust, while a seamless, technology-driven experience enhances productivity, satisfaction, and loyalty. With the campus and branch increasingly reliant on robust networks, the stakes for getting it right have never been higher

Successful contact centers are proactive, intelligent and take advantage of AI and automation using flexible and scalable solutions. Traditional on-premise contact center solutions can be slow to react to customer demands based on limited flexibility and slow time to market. Cloud-based Contact Center platforms use modern cloud architecture that is easy to deploy and manage. Book us for this analyst-style call to discuss latest trends, modern contact center platforms, and cloud contact center as a service (CCaaS).

WWT's Multi-Layer Multi-Vendor (MLMV) lab is an innovative and versatile physical lab environment focused on core networking. It is designed to demonstrate the integration of technologies from Layer 0 (the physical layer) to Layer 3 (the network layer) across multiple vendors in a cohesive system. This lab is designed to be custom-tailored to your specific needs. During this briefing, we will share an overview of the MLMV lab environment, discuss our capabilities, and develop a high-level plan to meet your needs.

If you are trying to sort through the marketing hype of Wi-Fi 7 and the blazing fast speeds and features, or wondering the benefits and impact of WPA3, this briefing is for you.

Not all platforms are created equal. As the usage of Microsoft Teams meetings grows the need to integrate with existing conference room endpoints is a must. Cisco Webex CVI for Microsoft Teams delivers an easy to setup and powerful way to utilize your existing standards based video endpoints (Cisco, Poly and Lifesize) within the Microsoft Teams platform.

Being flexible is one of the most important aspects of video conferencing. Customers are consistently looking for tools that allow them to be agnostic for years to come with their purchases of equipment. Synergy Join is a software tool that gives complete flexibility to IT organizations and allows their decision on conferencing platform and equipment to not be mutually exclusive. Synergy lets Poly and Cisco endpoints join virtually any conference platform with one easy button to join directly from the touch device.

This WWT-guided lab demonstrates several aspects of Cisco's Crossword Network Controller (CNC) in conjunction with Cisco NSO, including path control with Cisco SR-PCE (Path Computational Engine). CNC is a Segment Routing SDN Controller for transport networks. CNC allows an operator to create and manage VPN and Transport services with diverse SLAs, such as disjointness, bandwidth awareness, or low latency. It provides for creating engineered transport paths using SR-TE parameters and provisioning and linking VPN services to these paths. CNC performs real-time network optimization based on current network conditions utilizing the Crosswork Optimization Engine in conjunction with Cisco's IOS-XR-based Segment Routing Path Computation Element or SR-PCE. Cisco NSO is also included and tightly coupled to CNC as the Provisioning engine.

Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights (NDI) is included with all Nexus licensing and is compatible with both ACI and NDFC. The platform offers extensive insights functionality, such as dynamic correlation, impact analysis, proactive alerts, failure prediction and remediation. By leveraging advanced alerting, baselining, correlation, and forecasting algorithms, NDI provides deep insights into network behavior through telemetry data from networking components. This accelerates troubleshooting, rapid root-cause analysis, and early remediation, ensuring compliance with operator intent and simplifying audits. Additionally, it supports multi-site environments, enabling effective monitoring, maintenance and troubleshooting across multiple data center sites. Overall, Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights enhances network visibility, optimizes performance, and ensures a more reliable and efficient data center operation. This briefing will introduce you to the Nexus Dashboard platform and demonstrate the benefits of NDI.
