Cisco’s webcasts on Digital Transformation and related topics that impact digital disruption in all types of companies.

How to easily interpret the value of billions of connected things which are creating zettabytes of data.
We often speak of "the" Internet of Things, as if there is only one. But, really, every organization is unique, and every organization, including yours, has its very own Internet of Things.

Your organization’s Internet of Things will spin out data from a large variety of sources, with some recently converted from analog to digital outputs. Layer upon the need to perform analytics to make sense of the data, and now you have a new challenge for IT and Line-of-Business operations. What are you going to do? 
This session will highlight the road map for IoT during the next 12 to 24 months, identifying which applications will be popular, and what it will mean to manage their business outcomes.

How do you Maximize Value from Your Internet of Things - You Visualize It!

With the landscape of desktop and application virtualization constantly changing, the new Cisco UCS M-Series Modular servers offer a low cost, small foot print solution for high density XenApp workloads. 
UCS M-Series servers are composable infrastructure that disaggregates storage and networking from the CPU/memory allowing workloads to be optimally matched to resources.
In this webinar we’ll talk about how you can support 960 XenApp users in a 2RU configuration with excellent performance.

Low cost, small footprint solution for high-density XenApp workloads

Smaller companies and enterprises face the same challenges when it comes to attracting top talent. Both need to offer the flexibility to work anywhere, anytime while retaining control of sensitive data and intellectual property. Desktop and application virtualization can solve this problem, but until now it had been too costly and complex to justify smaller deployments. 
Join experts from Cisco and discover how the Cisco UCS Mini with Nimble Storage offers a small business-ready infrastructure with enterprise power. You will learn how you can quickly and easily deploy 350 virtual desktops with VMware Horizon 6.

Desktop and application virtualization can solve this problem, but until now it had been too costly and complex to justify smaller deployments. 
Join experts from Cisco and discover how the Cisco UCS Mini with Nimble Storage offers a small business-ready infrastructure with enterprise power. You will learn how you can quickly and easily deploy 500 virtual desktops with XenDesktop/XenApp.

Simplifying Desktop Virtualization for Smaller Deployments – XenDesktop edition

Multisite organizations are reducing the number of servers in their branch offices by moving applications and server capacity to the data center. Yet, they continue to place a few essential applications locally because of performance and availability issues.  Deploying Cisco UCS E-Series servers with VMware vSphere HA/FT feature along with StorMagic SvSAN virtual storage simplifies branch office infrastructure with central management & control while maintaining optimal application experience and availability for branch office users.

Building a Robust Converged Branch Infrastructure

Organizations like yours are using desktop and application virtualization to accelerate the transformation of desktops into mobile workspaces.  Cisco UCS – the North American market leader in x86 blades offers a differentiated platform for VMware Horizon with greater scalability, simplified management and an exceptional user experience for organizations of all sizes.  Learn how to accelerate your desktop transformation with this joint solution for industry leaders Cisco and VMware

Delivering Enterprise Mobility with Cisco UCS and VMware Horizon

Cisco and VMware are working together to support the implementation of simplified data center. Integrated Management solutions for the virtualized data center are critical to the success of driving operational simplifcation.
Attend this webinar to:
o Learn how Cisco UCS Service Profiles and vSphere Auto Deploy provides the most rapid and simplified means of deploying new resources
o Understand architecturally how UCS Manager integrates with VMware vCenter, vCenter Orchestrator and vCenter Log Insight
o Look at multiple data center Management use cases and benefits from deploying the integrated solutions

Cisco UCS and VMware Integrations for operational simplification

Webcast Description: Webcast Description: Learn how Prime Network Services Controller, which runs on the VMware vSphere hypervisor, enables hybrid clouds and network security. Learn about  the Cisco Nexus 1000V InterCloud architecture, in which Prime NSC enables security for vPath to migrate workloads to public cloud providers, and how Nexus 1000V, VSG, ASA 1000V work together to control network security.

Managing an End-to-End Hybrid Cloud Network

Join us to learn about the complementary nature of UCS's unified physical infrastructure and VMware's virtual infrastructure. Roger will discuss current and future integrations between UCS and VMware's management stack, including monitoring, orchestration, and provisioning integrations. We will also review some of the integrations that were presented at VMworld 2013.

UCS: Delivering Unprecedented Innovation to Create Flexible Virtual Environments

As enterprises gain experience with VDI deployed in their core enterprise locations, introduction of VDI into their branch office locations seems to be the next logical step.  These locations do not have on-site support personnel making it difficult to update PC’s and troubleshoot problems. 

In this session will demonstrate how customers can achieve operational consistency between branch and data center application deployment while still maintaining high availability and optimal application experience for users in the branch office.

Maintaining VDI Application Performance in the Branch Office

Organizations are facing a wave of IT challenges such as increasing budget pressures, operational and physical constraints, and data security.  Business leaders are looking for new ways to improve their ability to compete while moving into the virtual world of computing.
During this session you will learn about the Cisco EMC Solution for VMware View on VSPEX.  Topics discussed will be; Automated Desktop Provisioning, Streamlined Application Management, Advanced Virtual Desktop Image Management, and Automated Desktop Operations Management.  Cisco EMC VSPEX is a simple, efficient, and flexible solution to today’s IT challenge for shared infrastructures.

Desktop Virtualization with VMware View on Cisco EMC VSPEX

The very first Nexus 1000V prototype supported open source hypervisors.  However, Nexus 1000V supporting VMware vSphere came to market first.   Come join this session to find out how Nexus 1000V has gone back to the future in supporting open source hypervisors with OpenStack as the primary  management tool.  In addition, come find out how Cisco is making VXLAN even easier to deploy without the need for IP multicast in the underlying physical network.

Nexus 1000V on Open Source Hypervisors

Learn how Cisco and VMware can jointly help you deliver a simple cost-effective VDI solution and the associated value proposition! Join our speakers to gain a greater understanding of how your desktop solution can benefit from a joint Cisco and VMware solution.

VMware View on UCS

Multisite organizations are reducing the number of servers in their branch offices by moving applications and server capacity to the central datacenter. Yet, they continue to place a few essential applications locally because of performance, availability, or compliance requirements. By making use of x86 blade servers, these lean branch offices can lower equipment and operating costs, right-size and simplify infrastructure, and improve hardware provisioning and remote management.

In this session, you will also learn how deploying vSphere in remote office and branch offices can greatly simplify operations through centralized management and control through vCenter.  In addition VMware High Availability and Fault Tolerance keep business critical application “always up and running” in the branch.  This session will demonstrate how customers have achieved operational consistency between branch and datacenter application deployment while still maintaining optimal application experience for users in the branch office.
