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.

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.

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

As the capabilities of Core Networks increase, simplified management solutions that unlock their potential become more and more important. Convergence of optical and routing network functions ups the ante even further -- requiring management tools that help streamline new organizational processes. WWT can leverage its heavy investment in core networking technologies to help guide you through the ever-changing landscape of Core Network management.

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.

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.

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.

Organizations rely on communicating securely and privately with their customers. What happens when these communication channels are under attack? While AI has enabled many beneficial applications, criminals are finding novel ways to abuse it. The person on the far end of a voice call is becoming much more challenging to authenticate. These new forms of attack must be met with constant vigilance and defense-in-depth. This briefing discusses the threats facing organizations today, how to prepare and remain on guard, and ways to integrate voice security incident response into your disaster recovery plan.

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.

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).

Cisco ACI extends its capabilities beyond a single data center. This briefing will introduce you to the architectural options for leveraging a single point of management through the Cisco ACI Manager across multiple data centers.

Accuracy of location information within three feet or less can be achieved with location-enabled technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) or Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) and BLE. Which technology will best suit your location-based business drivers will be as unique as your business.
