Last week I shared my point of view on the future of AI and previewed our announcements <\/span>at Cisco Live. Well, today is the day. This morning, we dropped a tremendous amount of news, all tied together under a common theme \u2014 helping our customers navigate the shift to agentic AI.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This year\u2019s Cisco Live is the most consequential in some time. Not only is the level of innovation exciting, but so is the timing. We\u2019re building the critical infrastructure for the AI era, and the next wave of AI is here with agentic AI. To harness its potential, we need to reevaluate many of the architectural assumptions we made in previous eras of computing, networking, and security.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n That\u2019s why we\u2019ve brought a spirit of reinvention to everything we announced at Cisco Live.\u202f Here are some highlights:\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s hard to overestimate how important data centers are to the future of AI and how dramatic the transition will be from traditional to AI-ready datacenters.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As agentic AI becomes ubiquitous, the networks that connect compute clusters and data centers will be the key to optimizing the whole system. Moreover, as training and inference workloads tap into private data, security becomes even more essential. Trust and security are prerequisites for broad AI adoption.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At Cisco Live we\u2019re tackling these challenges throughout the stack:\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To check out all the data center news at Cisco Live, make sure to read our full announcement. We also shared an incredible array of security innovations<\/span>\u00a0geared to agentic AI.\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The future of work is distributed, AI-powered, and hyper-connected. This future will no doubt drive traffic growth and new security concerns across campus, branch, and industrial networks.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n At Cisco Live, we focused on delivering new technologies and tools that will help already overwhelmed IT teams meet the moment, including:\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To see the full picture of how we\u2019re future proofing workplaces at Cisco Live, read the full news (link to press release).\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The most important requirement of your infrastructure today is that it stays secure and available.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n We all operate in complex environments. Outages and issues are inevitable. The difference between good and great, though, is how fast you learn about a problem and how fast you remediate it. That\u2019s the definition of resilience, and it\u2019s fundamentally a data problem.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Cisco has visibility into more critical data to drive your digital resilience than anyone else, and we\u2019re bringing that data together for you in the Splunk data platform. At Cisco Live, we continued to drive deeper integrations between Cisco and Splunk. You can learn all about them in our <\/span>Splunk resilience blog.<\/span> \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u202fBelieve it or not, these are just a handful of the highlights from Cisco Live. Today, we are\u202fmoving with more urgency and focus than ever before. And we need to. AI is changing that fast and the opportunity is bigger than anything I have ever seen in my lifetime.\u00a0 \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Ultimately, I believe there will only be two types of companies in the world: those who embrace AI and those who struggle to stay relevant.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Our goal is to make sure that when you build on Cisco, you\u2019ll be one of the winners. \u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhy This Cisco Live Matters<\/h2>\n
