Cisco One: Vision and StrategyDave Ward / Susie Wee

“The Cisco One strategy has started out 18 months ago with a focus on controllers, OnePK/Agents and overlays. Based on these building blocks Cisco is quickly expanding Cisco One to include powerful application platforms. We have expanded the scope of Cisco One to orchestrate assets in the data center (Prime network Service Controller) as well as in the wide area network (WAn Controller). Cisco has created a cloud platform that leverages open source components like Openstack and Open Daylight and fuses these elements with Cisco developed cross domain workflow management, service overlays (vPE), elastic service control and control of WAn resources. We’ll demonstrate how this new platform builds the foundation for a broad set of services starting from Virtual Private Cloud, to video, CDn, mobility and a number of other applications that make use of network Function Virtualization. We will show how the cloud service platform builds the foundation for vertically integrated solution pods that combine network and compute infrastructure and applications in an end to end solution offering.”

Technology DirectionsPankaj Patel

Pankaj Patel will outline priorities for technology development at Cisco. He will subsequently highlight top innovations and share key directions Cisco is taking across our portfolio to ensure longer-term, competitive differentiation. Conversation will center around what you are hearing from your customers; what are the major, shared opportunities ahead; and what actions Cisco can take to contribute to mutual success, for you and for Cisco, and to add new value to your customers.

Organizing questions:• What are your customers’ biggest careabouts?

• What’s your customers’ take on changing consumption models?

• What are your customers telling you about SDn?

• What’s your view of linking applications with infrastructure?

• What do you think of platform APIs and how can we best get into the developer community?

• What do you see as the new opportunities with the Internet of Everything? What do you think of our current ecosystem?

• How can we make it easier for you to provide input to Cisco’s Development organization? What are your ideas for creating a tighter interlock between Development at Cisco and you, our partners?

• Do you have any other asks of us?

ByOD - ISE / MDM & High Density DesignRussell Rice / neil Diener

Join Cisco’s mobility and security thought leaders in a discussion on our current and future plans and strategies to address specific customer ByOD needs. There will be a deep dive conversation on the Identity Service Engine (ISE), including reviews of the relation Cisco has today and tomorrow in the MDM/MAM market and vendors.

• What is the most crucial user experience challenge we need to solve?

DC networking Strategy & RoadmapClaudette Surma / Rajeev Bhardwaj

“Data Center Switching is in midst of a major transformation fueled by disruptive trends like Mobility, Cloud, and Big Data. Cisco is uniquely positioned with its industry-leading innovations in nexus and MDS platforms to capture this market transition. This session will focus on Cisco’s DC Switching Vision and Roadmap, key innovations to optimize, simplify, and automate the Fabric with Dynamic Fabric Automation (DFA), and SDn Controller for simplifying Fabric Management.”

Enterprise networking - Vision, Roadmap, and StrategyJohn Apostolopoulos

Abstract: This session will cover Cisco’s vision and roadmap for Enterprise networking, including enterprise mobility and associated location-based services, Software Defined networks (SDn), Internet of Things (IoT), and network-based analytics. We will also highlight key technology and business trends, and our Enterprise networking strategy for driving these trends to provide value to our customers.

Organizing Questions:• With the trend toward open, collaborative spaces used by

large teams, and wireless ByOD, will 802.11ac solve the bandwidth problem? Or will bandwidth once again become a scarce resource?

• What are the most important problems in enterprise networking which SDn can help solve?

• Moore’s Law and virtualization are dramatically improving the performance/power/cost equation for software-based services running on network nodes, such as Cisco’s Integrated Services Router (ISR). What new software services can provide the most value for our customers?
