[Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] welcome to Cisco live 2018 we're here in beautiful Orlando Florida is day two of a wonderful four-day week we had an eventful day yesterday day one with our CEO Chuck Robbins coming in and kicking us off with excitement smoke he came out the floor I'm just kidding he came up walls maybe if you were there you would've thought it was amazing day we had the innovation showcase we opened up the new world of solutions right here behind me with all of our new products in a product and solution orientation so you could see what we do here on everyday basis so Mandy yesterday oh it was fantastic Reggie I mean right from the keynote with the whole chaos and wonder right that was the big subject of the keynote yes and it was Wonder I mean everyone I talked to on the floor was excited to be here there was so much going on so much in the big ideas theater the campus theater the village so many sessions and of course if you weren't in the sessions you have the world of solutions where there's tons to see and do and everyone was just having a blast I had a really good time man I'm happy had a good time I know for those in the audience this is our first year at Cisco live so you can experience our excitement and awe together with us and I know for me the water solution was my favorite playing around with all the new innovations we have seeing hi everything came together I was able to see the Mars challenge I know that's one of your four things to do yeah as a secret it's like a little secret compartment into the back you got to go out of there and see it I do I know there's a lot of games and well it's day two so it's day two and I'm gonna see as many games as I can that's for sure and talk to as many people as possible now we got some exciting things for you guys today here at Cisco live day two we have our executive vp David Eckler coming in with the technology keynote he's going to be speaking about the five pillars that chuckle OODA to yesterday and give us some more insight into that we have such an Gupta coming in with reinventing the network and last but not least coming from the connected experience center we have Jojo pintel talking about the customer experience yeah I mean I'm thinking that you know David's probably gonna hit on security you know what's what's new with the network and and how to make complexity more simple I'm sure I'm sure that's gonna be a big talk I mean that was from last year but I wonder what's gonna be new there's got to be a lot of new talk this year so it's you know how much how many things you know they grow and they change in one year from Cisco live 2017 to Cisco live 2018 there's got to be a bunch of changes I'm sure there's a lot of changes in Cisco I could say that right now especially in the security side we're focused more on a simple open automation system which is making it easier for our customers and most of all our partners to provide solutions around the world so we're gonna come in and see what David got clear got for us today hopefully could bring out the AI oh yeah totally but now I'm seeing that Steve has got someone to talk to Steve you are in the keynote who are you with they're in the keynote I get the opportunity to sit there hope whoo in case you wondered that was whoo okay so I'm here with Bob Rubin works at the cheetah with the chief of staff here so you are exactly the right person I want to talk to about a lot of the new stuff that's taking place here at the show and really what's getting people excited at the event I think we'll wait for the screaming because I can't hear a word of anything that's going on in fact if you could get some feet into my ear somehow that would be great alright so is the timing is perfect we ended up in exactly the wrong space with all the whoo we can't hear a thing over there alright so if we talk about some of the new and the groundbreaking things that are talking about right Chuck really set some amazing things up for us yesterday in the first keynote and I want to talk to you about first of all what you were excited about with Chuck but also what you are looking forward to hearing from Dave this morning on the technology keynote and how you think they will link together so really excited to be here you're hearing a lot of wounds because we've got 26,000 people live on the ground here two still alive and I think Chuck's at this stage really well yesterday when he talked about the chaos and the wonder of the hyper connected world that's what we're talking about here in a few years we're gonna go to three million devices coming online every hour our role is to reduce that chaos so that our customers can actually get value out of the wonder of this hyper connected world and so that's what I'm excited to hear from David is how are we simplifying this complexity for our customers in security and networking and multi cloud enablement and analytics and how we're providing a better experience for customers and employees with that absolutely now let me ask you specifically when you're walking around the show right we go through the campus you're looking what the partners are doing how are they reflecting and that particular message that you just talked about so one of the other things I would want to add is that as we've been simplifying this chaos we've also created a platform in DNA Center enabling customers and partners to innovate on top of our technology and that's what I'm proud of here is how we've enabled others but also for our partners to innovate more on top of our platforms so exciting from a personal standpoint so I know you're talking to chuck all the time but from your own personal standpoint what gets you particularly excited first of all to be in the room to get all 26,000 of us together but also on the messaging side what personally reflects for UBA I think Chuck nails ATLA at the end of his keynote yesterday which is using technology for good the cisco has been doing this quietly for several decades and now we're sharing it because we want a role model and have other companies step up and use technology for good as well that to me is what we're most proud of it's not just what we're doing we're enterprise customers and our service provider customers but it's what we're doing when there's a hurricane in Puerto Rico an earthquake in Mexico powered bringing communities together helping them be able to coordinate emergency services and connect them as well and we talked about Children's Hospital in the LA I was talking with Christine hack art yesterday and I was saying that in all the years that I've been coming to Cisco live or networkers 20-plus years at this point right the emotion yesterday was something that I had never experienced in any opening keynote before weird yes we can talk technology all day long how do we get to the heart of the why we are doing what it is that we're doing and that's exactly what you just mentioned a moment ago right really Drive so many of our employees we have a company meeting every month called the Cisco feed and I got to say the most popular Cisco feeds are the ones where we're featuring how we're using our technology and how our people are spending their time for good so I'm brand new announcement this morning right we were talking about Cisco DNA Center brand-new launch great control and command capabilities at the heart of Cisco DNA and this is a big step for us when we talk about our network based strategy so I want to ask you about this new open platform API and SDK capabilities and what we're hearing on trucks inside about how he feels we need to tell this story to the public absolutely so you heard Chuck yesterday talked about how that now has 500,000 developers on it that is the beginning we've created this platform with DNA Center we've exposed api's provided SDK so that the developers can create innovation on top of our platform and I mentioned that some of our partners have been doing that already but now we want to expand that to the entire world and that's what def net can help us do on top of DNA Center in case you're wondering 500,000 we say it is a number a half a million dev net members that's really quite extraordinary we've got an amazing day again Dave's gonna be coming up in just a few minutes rubra thank you I know you're the busiest lady in the world really really appreciate you taking time to talk to us absolutely so Reggie we're gonna throw it back up to you and Mandy in the studio thanks guys we'll see you in a minute hey Steve I need one more wool for me I know you're having a lot of times out of having a fun time now you gotta hit me with the whoo it's amazing when you think about all the good that Cisco is doing in the community I mean that mentioned four billion people to help I mean that's that's pretty ambitious and I was proudly here Chuck and the rest of the Cisco leadership speak about that and I mean rubra was just talking with Steve about you know the DNA Center simplifying the chaos and really using that technology for good because in the end that's that's what we want right we're we're using it in everyday lives we're using it when there's catastrophes and parts of the world technology for good I mean that's that's what it's all about talking about innovation we have a special guest Toby one of our guest speakers here a guest host at the innovation showcase and I want to talk to you because you know everything is going around the innovation showcase you know exactly who's on today what they're talking about the secret messages they have the Easter eggs for the audience let me tell us about today well I don't know if I'm quite it--see enough to give you all the Easter eggs but innovation Showcase is great and you know in this digital world we need to stay on top of innovation and not only do you get inspired but you also get informed and we have vice-president senior vice president's we have an all-star lineup and they're there daily and if for some reason you can't make a session and you want to see it where you want to see it again you can always watch it on demand and that's our sessions I know the keynote and other sessions as well but it's great we have like today we have sachin gupta senior vice president of product management and he's going to be talking about reinventing the network so whether it's kind of reinventing the network or it's a new way with cloud services innovation through acquisitions and investments it's a great place to be and you you're here at cisco you might as well come and have fun learn as much as you can and take that back with you because who knows you might be speaking next year that's very true and sachin is gonna be on a couple times I know we have him for Facebook live interview I know that's gonna be excited for audience so they could see him both at the innovation showcase and on a line how was the audience response yesterday great they come in and I mean it's it's a nice theater if you haven't seen it physically it's a really nice space it's being and it's it's great you have this nice epic wall and then you just have what I consider epic presentations by experts don't miss the experts I mean you're here come and see them get as much information as you can and sometimes they even give out gifts it's not Oprah Winfrey look under your seat gift but I mean you know Ellen Ellen either we talking like Steve Harvey like maybe you might get something I've been out of the US for way too long [Laughter] Oprah was still here we don't worry we'll bring you on that's what you say we'll help you out with that about today I mean what do we have to look forward to today in this case ears first one if you if you have time come down at one o'clock so you can still explore the world solutions but come down to innovation showcase a1 at 1 o'clock we'll have sachin gupta who'll be speaking on reinventing the network and there's they're about a half an hour come stay you have another half an hour to explore before the next one and the next one is going to be joe pinto transforming the customer service experience through innovation services Google's clouds opens service platform that's going to be at 3 o'clock and we are gonna have Alan nime doing that and at 3:45 we'll have Kip Compton now he's the vice president of cloud platform and solutions here at Cisco and he gives the lives of really good performance and that's power a multi cloud world and delivering on the promise and we'll wrap up the day at 4:30 with Rob salvo and that's the vice president of corporate development here at Cisco and he'll be talking to us about driving innovation through acquisitions and investments Wow I got all that memorized that's a lot and again too if you want to memorize something that's why we have Cisco live on demand at the website there you go well that is a full day very exciting stuff very exciting so much really appreciate it great to be here in sunny Florida absolutely here the innovation showcase be on the lookout for the rest of the day we have a jam-packed schedule talk about jam-packed what's going on over there Stephanie named the keynote so good to see you again I don't know if you guys can see me though I think I think that's where my glasses what I've been looking for this all morning they match my outfit my bad I took them anyway you know we're waiting for David Kepler to come on stage talk about networking and security but actually I found some more friends you're in the keynote more so I want to invite them and talk to them right now we have a Haugen so nice to meet you so basically we met because he's been doing all of these games here on the Kino floor we saw him yesterday in the big mouth challenge and today in office Olympics so tell me why are you so excited to be playing all these games first of all very good morning Stephanie and hello to everybody out there this is my first time in the u.s. first time for Cisco life and honestly I imagine this feels like a concert you know there's so much fun happening out here so last night I think you already know this but all the employees were invited for a Ludacris concert so yeah see you were there yeah that's one for Cisco amazing so you said it's your first time in the US where are you coming to us from yeah I'm coming from Bangalore India so you'd shout out to all my teammates out there in in Cisco Bangalore so yeah I'm going it was a twenty seven hour flight yeah took a while but yeah I'm here finally I'm having a very good time what is it like in the Bangor campus I hear a lot about it you guys have a great community over there yeah it's a huge campus we have around ten buildings out there we have two gyms out there all right we have around 8,000 to 10,000 employees all you know working very hard to make sure that you know Cisco continues with its growth but at the same time you know having a very good time okay what are you looking forward to for the rest of the lives yes so my intention of this visit you know I'm here as a representative of Cisco India of the culture that we bring along because we have a fantastic culture in our company and you know we're just out here to demonstrate all the fun things that we do and you know playing those games having a good time being out here on Cisco life is a part of that culture so you know I'm just representing my folks and the amazing culture that we have from Cisco India thank you so much and there's a thing that we do you know in a group we do a one two three be our Cisco can we do that oh my god that was the hold on 1 2 3 we are Cisco - yeah you're part of it so you got to see exciting things like this in the keynote but also online at hashtag CL us talking about hashtag CL us what's going on in Twitter verse well there's been a lot of fun tweets I have to say I was just going through my phone this morning we got from Phil Lena food and fun are clearly some priorities and then there's a picture of them playing foosball right out there so there's lots of games lots of activities foosball is a very competitive sport here in that Cisco I will let you know that is it really yes people have lost salaries off a foosball Wow have you played no never okay well we got Mike Kim Mike Kim said raging party with Ludacris Stephanie was just talking with her awesome guest about Ludacris I'll tell you a secret I was at that party were you yes I was up front with him really with him with Stephanie was talking yes yes we can we can't speak about what happened at the Ludacris concert he wants to be a partner okay I'm gonna sound really nerdy right now but is ludicrous y'all gonna make me lose mama no that's not Ludacris who's Ludacris then Ludacris is like move okay here's another tweet we've got Peter Steinbach this conference is a world of pure imagination oh I love that it reminds me of Willy Wonka and you know but it's true you know when you walk into the Oise you see the rainbow colors this is so campus yes is vibrant it looks like you could go up there and just get candy I mean really so these tweets everyone's excited everyone's tweeting hashtag CL us right yeah and I heard there's a contest in social media I've heard there's gifts that they're giving out based on different things oh yeah yeah I mean absolutely absolutely oh but before we talk about that we will get to that later but now let's go to Steve let's go Orochi you guys literally just miss the Kaos moment back over here we had a great ring toss game Nick our DJ is hosting some phenomenal games out here on the show floor these people are going wild as I getting all prepped up look at this see Lee Howard is about to hit the stage from NetApp Lee and I talked a little bit earlier he is part of the game declar talk coming up I wanted to talk about something else brand-new very very cool addition to this year's show we've got the CL US correspondent contest we've got so many great people who write in they create content they send in messages they host blogs and we come to find out that so many of the people who come here to the show they're great writers they have such a great way with words they have a nose for news and these are the people we want to hear from here at Cisco right so the question becomes do you have what it takes to be a Cisco life correspondent I'm asking you alright let us know because all of that tweeting all that blogging that captioning facebooking that could have earned you free stuff we got great prizes to give away so here's the way this works all right during before just after Cisco live 2018 here in Orlando using hashtag CLU s post out we are monitoring through social media get into our longline content share with us and we're going to find out who really has the chops to be a great correspondent so we want your in observationally want your insights we want to know the who what when where why of what's happening right here in Orlando across the industry you guys are the ones who can really tell the tech stories so well like always make sure it includes hash tag CL us you don't have to post on every single social media channel out there you have to make it count make it good it is the quality of what you've posted that really matters more than anything now there's more at stake than just bragging rights or the respect of peers like these guys sitting behind me what you really want to concentrate on it's the freebies it's a good stuff we're giving away things a real value your craft could for example get you a free full event pass to next year is cisco live in san diego how awesome is that right talk about your valuable prizes we're giving away eight hour lab sessions for our lab sessions and then you get the bragging rights as well okay so make sure you get out there post for us make it count talk to our social media team and they'll reward you for your expertise your genius your prose and your commitment to helping Cisco tell our story that's what we're all about all right Mandy we're gonna head back up to you in the studio I'm gonna look for more fun stuff to do keep having fun up there guys you're missing all the good stuff down here having fun Steven thank you so much that it those are a lot of freebies but yes as Steve said social media how can those online participants in Cisco live and the social media win this year we've got the best remote attendee contest just watch the Cisco live broadcast and engage in the Cisco live social media communities we'll give a shout-out on social at the end of each day to a remote attendee providing the best social updates at the end of the week one of the recognized broadcast attendees will win a fire HD tablet a Fire HD 8 tablet that is I haven't seen one of those have you I don't even know what that is it sounds impressive it sounds awesome you put that 8 on there you put an 8 on everything is better right and so you just have to like Steve said hashtag CL us keep tweeting keep posting on social media we're watching we're reading we want to pick the best we will contact you and then you win that big huge prize the HD 8 tablet I mean it's incredible I mean free stuff galore I mean that's one of the best part of any Cisco live I've heard it from people all across the world even especially here everything we're getting I got a stress ball yesterday this is not a stressful job but I got a stress ball yesterday it was awesome do you cover where you got it from no but I know who I'm looking for right now and that's Stephanie now we have another member of Cisco's cultural movement we have Shayla here with us she's a part of argan seemed kind of sharing the Cisco love to everyone around the world can you tell us more about this program well the program is about spreading out values that we believe in Cisco sharing the culture and the energy not just within Cisco but to our partners to our customers and that's why we're really passionate about so what are you doing here specifically at this tolive are you doing meeting yeah so I've been therapy things all the keynotes and my goal here is to get feedback from the partner the customers and share with them we have mentioned the button Cisco then I'm gonna bring it back for my team you know I want to share everything that I learned so that everybody can do the best that they get at their job and decide that I'm that's amazing so where's your team like where are you bringing back all of your feedback and information so I am originally from Portugal but I am working based out of Krakow Poland so shout out to everybody in Krakow love you guys then you're the reason I go to the office every day so how big is your team there in Krakow tell me again how big is your team in Krakow so in Franco we have about 1500 people we have new buildings yeah it was really cool meeting both of them to go all over the world and meet their employees from all over the world so we're actually thank you so much oh my god Cisco crack out look this is the beautiful thing about Cisco as a company we're over 70 12 more than 17-thousand about two hundred thousand people all across the world from Singapore to Cracow to London to Mexico City to RTP North Carolina shout-out to my people art speed North Carolina San Jose Cisco is a global entity changing the world and that's what we love about it yeah so many connections right I mean as Stephanie and her lovely guests they were there talking about all these connections all these people all over the world and that's what it's all about you know making changes helping everyone and it's exciting I mean I could feel it in the air I could see it when we see Steve and Stephanie down there I mean that place is getting psyched for this keynote yes yes and day to usually see a drop-off I'm not seeing a drop-off today yeah so let's go over to Steve and see what else can we see from the keynote that you what are you talking drop-off we don't even know what that word means that's not in our lexicon here if anything they're building up Ruben said a couple of moments ago 26,000 people attending here at the show we're thinking 28 we're going on the optimistic side but heaven knows a good group of them are in here with us today and again nick is getting to the joint all jammed up for us we're at the entrance so if Pat takes a big swing around here with the camera you will see that we are at the entrance to the keynote space right off the edge of the walls there's the think tank engagement Center in front of us we got the brew park right up here as well but we are out here at the entrance to the keynote you know so much of what we're talking about here at the show is what is new what are the new releases now I was talking Aruba a moment ago I want to dive in a little bit some of the new product releases we had a great new product announcement just this morning almost as we speak to us tiny bit before this but we announced v-neck big step for Cisco's intent-based networking strategy and vision we are opening up the network at a system level to our customers our partners to developers DNA Center here at Cisco it's that control in command center that's right at the heart of Cisco DNA it is fully open for business now as of this morning 360 degree extensibility we've got a brand new open platform a Chie SDK capability as we mentioned before this is what's making all of our automation and our analytics and our assurance capabilities available to a whole world of new capabilities and possibilities the sky's the limit just announced today right you can innovate like you never have before we're streamlining operations it's fantastic so guys come and check out all the new stuff see what's being announced get down here the Dave Keckler keynotes just about to kick off I'm gonna toss it back up to you and I'm gonna go watch the keynote myself bye guys don't go too far away that's the amazing thing about Cisco we've been moving towards this intent-based networking and a lot of people they wonder what that means it means that the network will think for itself based off the actions that the user has made and to hear all of that happening and hear the new announcement I can't wait see new concepts new ideas new activities for the first time ever new attendees at Cisco live 2018 speaking of new attendees Stephanie who you there with hey I am here with Zach he is from WWE Zach what are you up to here at Cisco live I'm just here to learn take a bunch of classes trying up my technical skills and have a few customers out here as well that we're taking out to dinners and having meetings with nice so what were you up to yesterday during day one so day one I was in sessions from 8:00 a.m. all the way through 6 p.m. [Music] doing a bunch of wireless training technical trainings then we went to dinner at Spencer's steakhouse at the Hilton with one of my customers then went to the wwt party afterwards nice so nice busy day for you what are you looking forward to today and the restlessness alive I'm definitely looking for looking forward to the session still looking forward to the Universal Studios event tomorrow and just having

media hashtag CL us but now so baby geckos actually come here on stage we bout get started so tune in see you guys later [Music] they sing with me [Music] we'll be screaming now [Music] [Music] [Music] ladies and gentlemen please welcome Cisco's executive vice president and general manager networking and security David Gettler [Applause] Wow welcome to day two of Cisco live man you guys are ready to go I have to tell you I would stand on the side over there when those t-shirts came out I saw people standing on their chairs trying to get those alright you're ready to go and I was out early this morning walking around I saw everybody lined up kind of getting in the sessions earlier that's what this week is all about right it's a guy that leads engineering for Cisco and builds all this technology have a great team doing that this is our week we look forward to all year like we get to spend time with all of you and talk about all of the technology we've been building and everybody is here the best and the brightest of Cisco all the engineers all the tMI's everybody builds this technology takes it to market we're all here this week to spend the time with you so we've got a great session here this morning we're gonna go through all kinds of stuff we've got lots of stuff lined up we're gonna see some demos we're gonna walk through the technology so let's talk about what we're gonna see so we're gonna start with intent based networking now we've been talking about this for the last year and we're gonna start to go through it a little more detail right we're going to talk a little bit about what intent based networking is all about and then we're gonna see some demos of it in action because I think this is really game-changing technology in the networking business we're fundamentally building networks different than we have over the last 30 years alright then we're going to talk about what is the next step in this intent-based networking journey we've been on is cisco so it's not something we just woke up one morning and said hey let's rebrand the portfolio intent-based networking this have been a journey we've been building for years and we've been rolling this out and today we're gonna take the next step around opening up the ecosystem around broader part of the portfolio and then Suzy we you've heard Suzy wheeze name a lot this week already she's a real person she's gonna be here on stage soozee we on stage to talk about Deb net alright and then you're gonna hang in there gonna hang in there and then at the end we're gonna have collaboration like the best demos there ever are at any Cisco event collaboration and Jonathan Rosenberg is here CTO of the collaboration group and he's going to go through some incredible stuff as always of what's being driven in that portfolio okay we got a lot to cover so let's get going Chuck covered this yesterday did a marvelous job like times have changed the way we build networks and the demands on all of us on what we have to deliver to the business to our employees to our customers partners it's just vastly different than it was when we started building networks thirty years ago right you all have seen why the users and devices whether it's the mobile workforce whether it's all the IOT devices we talk about adding a million new devices to the network an hour right we got to think about what is the networking technology that's going to allow us to do that and then we've got the applications again Chuck said yesterday built a nest networks traditionally get all the traffic to the data center why because all your applications are in the data center and if you're not accessing one of your applications just go off to the internet but it's a little more complicated now the applications have been virtualized now they're containerized and they're split up into maybe hundreds of pieces that are running in software stacks on the public cloud got SAS providers providing applications we still have the private cloud in the data center so we've got to think about how we build the networking and security infrastructure differently for that world and then finally the cloud or live in a multi cloud world you know cloud is a huge technology as a seminal transition in the technology industry right but not everything is going to move to the cloud at least not all at once and we're left in this world now where every Enterprise uses multiple public clouds dozens of SAS provide so how do we build a network and how do we secure it in that world this is what intent-based networking was all about right this is why we're rebuilding the fundamental building blocks of how we build networks right so when we launched it we talked about this powered by intent informed by context it's a little more to it than that right that was great marketing but there's a little bit more to it than that and so let's see all right I'm gonna take you through this diagram here real quick and I'm just going to tell you the different parts of the how you have to think about how you build an intent based network and how from a technology point of view what do we have to do there's three big steps here we talk about intent that's what you want to do that's the business outcome you want that has to be turned into let's think about that as your policy from that you have to translate that into what you want the network to do right what do I want my I have a business intent what does that translate into what network actions need to be taken once you've got that done you have to activate it in the network so I have to deploy all those changes across the network and here's where we're thinking about the network very differently now as opposed to a bunch of independent pieces all the routers and switches and wireless access points and in big networks there can be tens of thousands of those in a single enterprise network we're thinking about that is one large software system not all the individual pieces one large software system where we define that intent and then we activate that across the entire network at once once we have the network running the way we want that's where you have context comes back or streaming all this telemetry out of the network understanding what's happening driving it into analytics machine learning all the things we talk about in a data-driven world and then we deliver assurance right assurance is how we understand what's happening in the network all right let's double click just a little bit you're a few quick examples here how it works here's an example of intent you know Chuck was talking to the Troi and at Children's Hospital of La this is something they may want to do I want to schedule a telemedicine session if you're in the IOT worlds you may want to roll out a new application in the factory floor if you're in the data center I may want to deploy a new secure multi-tier application how do I translate and activate that in the network this is all the things you have to do from the network this is what intent-based network is going to start to do all of these things for us and deploy that across the entire network infrastructure and once that's deployed how do you know it's working that's what assurance is all about how do I get this continuous verification of what's happening in the network infrastructure use that to get insights and visibility into the network infrastructure we just have never had before and then once we learn from that how do we take corrective actions that's that whole closed-loop system that is fundamental to an intent based networking infrastructure okay we can only this is a technology keynote right we can only talk about technology so much at some point we have to demo so that's what let's go to that now we're gonna we're going to do some demos of assurance because I think this is something we've launched since the last time we were together it's cisco live last year and i think this is like fundamentally different way you you drive a network and so we're going to start on the access side of the network with DNA Center and DNA Center insurance and I'm going to ask sachin gupta to come out and help us go through that demo Sachin [Music] it was like two years for you as part of the Cisco life Kino right now the second time Bank ensign last last year we were doing that activation translation side of it right right now we're going to talk about assurance you are a 20-year well first of all you run the whole and her product management for the ole enterprise portfolio but more importantly to everybody here you are a 20-year CCIE networking veteran right that's right all right so we used yeah so when you think about intent-based that you've been building networks for a really really long time so when you think about intent based networking I mean this journey we've been on over the last couple of years how do you think about it right as somebody that's been building networks as a CCIE so I think the policy based automation aspects or will very well understood but I started my career in Cisco in customer services as a customer support and just troubleshooting networks and so I think the power of the data analytics that we bring to the table is not fully understood and I'd love to sort of showcase that today and talk more about where we're going with the surance okay we're gonna talk about that okay I got one let's walk over there got one question for you so Chuck Chuck yesterday yeah he was joking about these guys that hug switches yeah right all right are you one of those guys I can't confirm that you can't confirm that yeah really we might have some evidence here for you buddy if it was on stage right now do it again you'd hug it again we're gonna start with the kissing so let me let me set up the demo first what can you see so you know last year we used the healthcare example yes so it's a hospital and we talked about segmentation in this case what we have is we have lots of devices in this hospital now they're running DNA Center and they have a vital science monitor that's seeing intermittent performance issues so now look doesn't matter what the issue is yep the network is always blamed right anytime there's a wireless problem it's always a wireless problem it's always a wireless problem you never know what's going on you never know what's going on fine could be the RF problem could be the network it could be anywhere it's like the needle in haystack and you're spending hours and hours to troubleshoot classic problem plastic problem and we'll talk about the power of DNA Center assurance now so let's let's switch over to DNA Center and so as you see on the main screen here you can see all your clients and you can see the overall health for the clients of that site you can also see the network and the health of the network it looks like there's something going on with the course to achieve but we're really interested in the client health because we're looking for that vital Science Monitor that's connected over wireless I'm gonna click on client health and as you can see here overall wired Wireless clients are performing pretty well but they're all just so we're all settled here this is like all the information that's streaming out of the network in real time right this is not we're not going out and pulling we're not doing in that we're not running scripts this is like in real time or streaming telemetry in the DNA Center and we're capturing all that information so that you've been going and then developed these insights from hundreds and hundreds of nodes access points controllers the switches ice DNS DHCP routers bringing it all together whole so again so this is turning the network into a big software system it's not all the individual pieces now we're aggregating all that data in one place and then we're contextualizing it so if I want to search for all the information related to one client what are the apps they're running what's their experience I can stitch it together let's see so let's see that so I see there's some some issues on the wireless side I want me to go to the widest clients and you know there's there's a user Daphne seems to be having some issues you can see the health score is one and I can see the vital sign monitor right now that seems to have a health score of nine it seems to be performing well and we have seen reports of these issues and this is also a classic problem the problems not happening now yeah I mean it happened a few hours ago and so what do you do let's go reproduce it let's go wait until it happens again well probably first you tell the user if it happens again call back and if they call back three or four times and maybe you can imagine this in the hospital when it's a vital signs monitor you really want to wait for it to happen again yeah it's a in this case we're recording the data for up to 14 days and so we can go back and take a look so let's click on the vital sign monitor and you know sure enough you can see that for this particular client a few hours ago 6 o'clock or so it did have some low health score it did have some performance issues this is like a really important concept here is that we're not just what's happening in the network right now this is what's happened in the network over the past 14 days yes so we can go to any client any user any device and we can pivot around and see exactly what was happening in the night I think that's right weird thing you know you can sort of look at that data stitched together contextually at that instant and let's let's keep going and see what it's telling us it's not just showing us that the health score was low it's automatically identifying at the bottom that the application that's being used here monitor web portal yep it's actually seeing a higher than normal latency okay okay so now we think more information and we're gonna click on this issue and see what it recommends and you know you it did automated baselining and figured out that look I've never seen this high latency and so something's going on mm-hmm and then it tells you the automated remediation actions and so this is the twenty thirty years of knowledge we have in running networks with Cisco Takas services and with our customers and it's automatically using the data and identifying the steps you can take to go resolve okay so the team that built DNA Center here not only are we collecting all this information we're trying to get to what are likely problems we see symptoms we're likely problems we've gone back to like this huge database of issues we have that's been going on and networks for years and years and then we've built recommendation engines when you see this kind of symptom it's likely these problems exactly and you can execute the recommended actions right here so the first one here is it says check out wireless intelligent capture cuz this is a brand new technology that's coming out that allows you to do a packet capture from the access point without disrupting traffic and so you're not going out there and taking a sniffer analyzer trying to replicate a client behavior and doing this from the access point itself we can do the packet capture so we'll go click on this and you see a few different things here first of all you see the location graph for where that vital sign monitor has traversed in this time period okay this right here is something all by itself which is incredibly interesting you can see the floor of the hospital you can see where every access point is and then by color you're seeing the strengths of the wife of a signal right the RF signal you're checking for a few things here like did it was it out of range maybe the signal strength was low was that causing it on the left hand side you have all the events as it on-boarded to the network and what the experience was right so you can now start triangulating it looks like it wasn't in a in a dead zone it was actually in a good zone the problem and we're gonna look at the new capability which is analyze packets and so yes this is a bit of a detailed chart but the way to think about it is the down arrow means traffic from the network to the client the up arrow is from the client to the network and the black means look the communication flow seems pretty good and you would see one of these in red if we missed a packet or of one direction we were not able to have the conversation and what you see here is in blue at the bottom there's a lot of packets are going out that have high interpet gap and so again going back to the application seeing high latency you now have another data point that says look it wasn't a wireless coverage issue but you are seeing high in our packet gap so let's go and see what else it recomme so we're verifying we are in the technology keynote at this point because we've gone all the way down to packet capture here and what this graph is showing is essentially all the traffic back and forth between a particular client and a particular access point yet when this problem is happening and it's actually showing you the latency in between packets arriving at that but it's showing you the entire communication flow so you look at the authentication the association so if it failed in DNS or do on the DHCP or connecting to the AP you'd see that and then you're seeing if any packets were dropped anyway and then you're looking the inter packet gap so it's giving you the complete picture okay and this is collected in real time all the time is it connected real-time all the time it's stored historically remember it goes back in time to see what happened earlier this morning or in the last few days okay all right so looks like it does seem like an application performance issue here and let's look at the second view here that says go to the application policy monitor so now we're going back to where we've set up quality of service policies for applications and you can see the the orange indicates these are custom apps I've defined these on how to identify these in my network because I care about them for my business and you can see clinical software medical records software a lot of them have been marked as high-priority but for some reason the vital sign software that monitor application hasn't been placed in the high party group all right so it's like a perfect example of where we talked about defining intent right here we have the intent of what kind of QoS we want these applications to get we find that one of them is in the wrong group yes right so how do we fix it and so here you know we're gonna just move it now remember don't fix this you would go to every switch you go to every ap and the past Center you'd go to every device and you'd have to reconfigure that particular applications prior to this we're gonna drop it it's now in the business relevant type rtq and we're gonna click deploy deploy roll that out into the infrastructure okay that was just the translate activate you just did it right there that she was activated assurance was our intent delivered as expected yep with the rich telemetry data coming out of the infrastructure all the time going back in time helping you close the loop figure out what action to take to go fix that modify intent or program the network differently to achieve the outcome okay so we just saw that in a few clicks so go back to your days in the tab yeah all right let's say you had to do this same thing to a very sophisticated network how long would it take I'm thinking it could take days but certainly several hours several hours and it would be painful hours you'll be walking around with a sniffer you'd be doing packet captures manually you'd be waiting for a critical issue in a hospital to be reproduced all right thanks a and appreciate it good stuff take care I look as I said I think this technology we really are changing the fundamentally changing the way we manage networks and giving all this data that we've always had in the network now we have a place to bring it to and we can start to apply all of the analytics on top of it to learn and then be able to change the network and redefine intent and activate it very very quickly I will say intent based networking we started with policy based automation and then we launched assurance but don't think you have to deploy them in that order you can deploy assurance on top of the network you have today simply by software upgrading the equipment so most any equipment that's been bought or been deployed in the last three or four years will support everything you saw here today with software upgrades so it really is the best step as far as how do you get start down the path of intent based networking is go deploy assurance and I guarantee you it will change the way you think about your network it will increase the agility and and the rate at which you can make changes allow you to deliver a much better experience to your users and also reduce the operational costs of the network all right let's go look at the data center now the same thing let's go that was in the access network your wireless network switching let's go to the data center where we're looking at managing applications and for that we're gonna have Tom Edsel join us on stage Tom come on out [Music] I'm gonna say a few things about Tom first this guy is a legend in Cisco right a legend in Cisco 25 years 25 years 25 years first acquisition very okay yeah Cisco fellow there's wind we have 25,000 an engineer they probably have 15 or 20 Cisco fellows yeah this guy's one of them been working in the data center business for 18 years yeah about that long not that long and then before that you built this little portfolio we have called catalyst switching over there and I finally got to the other side of the page and another little piece of trivia about Tom it's the first 25 years his first demo tom is done yet on stage in an event like this right first ever alright so for me I gotta tell ya when I found out you're gonna do this demo this is like going like I couldn't think of an analogy it's like you're gonna go take swimming lessons and you show up and you find that Michael Phelps so this must say what you think about this technology so let's go take a look at your Haiti all right what are we going to take a look at tom so what we're looking at here is the network assurance engine so this is some technology we developed in my office well we started the idea in my office a few years ago something that I had kind of an idea about probably about four years ago and we just couldn't quite put all the pieces together didn't have all the technology the time wasn't right but about two years ago a guy came into our group's entire top PhD out of Stanford and we said you know what I think we can do this and he kind of took the bull by the horns okay and so what we were trying to do is build a complete model of what's happening in the data center and and having that model a mathematical model we can apply what we call formal techniques and formal techniques or something we've used in the hardware design for a long time and I started my career at Cisco doing ASIC design and these are some of the some of the tools and mechanisms we'd use there but with that complete model we can start to say things with guarantees when I say something based upon the model for sure that's it's a fact and that's really important when you're doing assurance okay so that's pretty cool so you guys actually starting to say look data centers are big complicated part of the network lots of policy lots of applications let's build a mathematical model so we can prove that we have the correct policy that's right that's what you started that's pretty ambitious right so when we started ACI one of the questions we had early on was we have this controller we're doing software-defined networking how do we know that what we put into that controller that intent that we've translated and we've activated how do we know that it really was activated in the network well I'm gonna show you right so take a look this screen right here it's a it's a little bit of an eye chart but we see here is the complete policy for this data center it shows the tenants around the outside the applications and the next string in and those arcs as green arcs we see going across there that's each of the policies it shows that connectivity between each of the components in that system and now what's important is this has to be easy to use so we can go in here and click one of these guys and drill in and here we can see for this application that it's isolated and that was important this was a PCI application I need to be isolated from everything else those arcs in there we can see how one one of these endpoints are one of these groups is related to the other and we can easily click in even further and see exactly the details with just just a few clicks about how these guys are related to each other and so what we see here if i zoom in a little bit is we have this application called app and it has a contract which is the policy and that's a policy how it connects to the database application or the database group okay so Tom this is like we talked about context and network you're getting all of that context were you getting that from and then you're built to build this model well you know the the assurance is about closed loops it's important we know this from control theory we know this from a lot of things a sort of a DevOps thing we talked about this cycle yeah so what we're doing is reading from the switches down at the hardware level yeah and pulling all of that information out cuz that's the ground truth yep and then we're also pulling from the high level from the controller and saying well this is what I think I should be doing yeah and then we match those up then you're actually mathematically building a model so you can see if those things match up we do with something called logical equivalence which is you know in the mathematical world that has a lot of meaning but just to a layperson maybe not so much but it means that they are the same let's follow up reading for everybody here we can drill in we can see exactly what the policy is so it's important to be able to drill all the way down and get all the way back out so now but that's not the whole story the other part of policies is that they can be complex we know that there are you know could be tens of thousands of policies wouldn't it be great if we could do an analysis of what you'd actually put in a question was another question was asked to me was how do I know my policy is right it's like well you put it in but it turns out that you the policies evolved they they change over a period of time and so you know many of us experience ACLs and you have an ACL that's extremely complex well you may have conflicting rules in your ACL set well the same thing can happen policies you can have policies and maybe the overlap intentionally or not intentionally so we have with this mathematical model ability to go in and see one of them by the way one of the bad things about 25 years is I got to do this okay so I can see what's going on it allows us to go into a complete analysis so here we are looking at that high-level policy up inside the controller and we found some problems in that policy now I'm going to show here ability to do a search because it's we like to be able to get to things very quickly and and what I found here is a shadow policy this is a policy that said one thing and it's overlapping with the policy that said something else so this is like a proverbial needle in a haystack like if you're not building models like that like sift through everything on the switches and char in the controller and try and figure this out is extremely difficult it is and then rather than saying oh it's error number 43 we thought you know let's take a little bit a little bit further than that and this is a case where we really collaborated very very well with the cisco services attack and advanced services and found out from them what they thought was important what are the common problems and I know suctioned did the same thing we did a lot of that here and here's an example where this have suggested next steps in plain English if you have this problem this is what you need to do and so I think that's extremely important for having very very fast resolution of process again this idea of like the tools not only are we finding out what's going on in the network and then we're modeling it when we see errors or we with things that may be suspicious we have guided remediation where we can step people through what may be the most likely causes and how we can resolve the problem absolutely you know this the way we think about this is you know we have day one operations day two operators talk about day one and day two there's one day one there is an unlimited number they do and so this is built for day two kinds of operations so let me let me show you another one that I think is pretty interesting that we're doing here I mean get out of this close that up is what we call epoch analysis think of the epoch is as a snapshot we take this snapshot whether you escort or not every 15 minutes boom every 15 minutes we're taking everything that's all the policy that's implemented in the data everything is going and we store it so we can go back to look at it later we could do audits all those kinds of things but if something goes wrong the first thing you want to know is what what changed and so we had a real-life example here with a customer that was deploying the DNS service in the DMZ I'm Nessen DMZ and they had cloned the server and we're bringing it up and the application guys talking to the network guys and they miscommunicated somehow and the network guy turned on the interface to enable that particular server before it was ready and we ended up with an outage not not a severe outage but there was a quite a loss of connectivity and so with Delta in else's you say well okay something just happened let me go back and compare what changed during this period of time and so what we can do with that is show you right here's the policy what we see in the upper part the red is what was removed from the policy in the middle is what changed we highlight exactly the lines in the policy and the bottom is what was added to the policy so we can know exactly what changed between that known good time and whatever other time you've chose so again we have this concept that the tools work at kind of a high level then you can start drilling down and you get all the way down into the specific syntax of the policy if you want yeah you can get very very detailed but also this this difference analysis all right so what changed and that's the question that the operator starts with what does help maybe their last known good something went wrong let's try and figure out what we did here and how did things go haywire but we we analyze not just the policies but the runtime State so we're trying to understand exactly what's happening across this entire infrastructure so in this case when we did this analysis this Delta analysis we can go in and is an example we're looking at some major alarms here and we see beforehand and after Han the two circles and what they show that number seven in the middle is these were major alarms that were there before and after but we have on the right-hand side with that number two is these are the new ones that are new with this Delta analysis because that's what I care about what changed okay as you get right to what's what's the issue and so just put some real number that's what I need to find then look look here duplicate IP now we've all heard of that and I can drill into that's exactly the duplicate IP and what I get here is not just that there was a duplicate IP but I tell you exactly what IP address it is what is the MAC address of the two devices involved you can see that poi the end point max and as always suggests next steps things that we can do about it by the way it also tells us which leaf those IPS are on so you can go there and fix that problem okay guys - all right Tom so just like incredibly incredible technology anyway that's running an HCI fabric like this technology is just going to make it get and give them unbelievable insight into what's happening there and to get it up and running just a piece of software just a piece of software running the live demo right here thinks into the demo so yeah you know this is a very easy install one of the easiest installs of any product we've ever had very proud of the team on the user interface that you just saw see er just a couple of clicks I'm to the you know the details of exactly what you need to do to fix the problem all right Thomas a tremendous innovation thank you thanks Tom all right thank you [Applause] all right I think as you see like on both sides of the network on the access network we're kind of looking at users and devices and what's happening in the data center looking at all the policy and just unbelievable set of tools that we've launched over the last six months to give you just much greater insight into what's happening in your network all right let's talk about what the next step is in this intent-based networking journey so this is a multi-step process we've been on we started with building policy based automation in the data center a CI most complicated part of the network right launch that a couple years ago we then moved into the access network the biggest part of the network with DNA Center and SD access we brought that out with the network intuitive last year and all of the push behind that we didn't stop there we then on the access side of the network extended SDA and DNA center into the IOT environment got to go there and on the data center side we took a CI anywhere over the top into the cloud so now we've got the whole thing covered from the policy based automation and then we brought out assurance how do we close the loop and give you all of these tools to give you better insight and all of the things we just saw all right so what's the next step in this journey if you're going to build an architecture if you're going to put a platform out in the market today it needs to be open and extensible and today we are extending that open and programmable access across the entire network all right so let me give you some context of how we think about open and extensible this isn't just about API is api's are important but there's a bigger context here around how we think about this so I'm gonna go around this and counterclockwise at the top you do have all the api's to allow anybody to build applications on top of what we are releasing so the whole idea here is our technology needs to be extensible this a intent-based networking platform is just that it's a platform but it's not just about api's it's also about adapters there's a lot of other IT management systems that all of you guys deal with and we got to start tying these worlds together so what's happening in your IT Service Management security your sim how does all that tie in IPAM MDM all of these pieces that you have we have a lot of that already tied in through ice that ecosystems been out there for a while we've got over 80 different vendors that are part of this Ibn portfolio and then going down right building SDKs to allow third-party networking equipment to be a part of the fabric right again with a CI we've got over 70 different partners where we can service chain all of their technology is part of an intent based network this is not just about you know if we're gonna build the platform's got to be open and extensible and then on the right how do we start tying all these networking worlds together we got to try the network to the campus we've got to tie security into all of this bring in Meraki for security for cisco so that's what we're that this is kind of how we think about it's very comprehensive strategy and today is when DNA Center joins the party right so DNA Center we are we are announcing all of these API as you see up here all these things Sachin was showing now we have the ability to do those through api's so third parties any of you partners can start developing applications using the capabilities you saw we're releasing adapters into things like ServiceNow an info box and tableau to allow you to customize this and bring this deeper into the IT automation workflow you see cross domain adapters here about from one place we can see what's happening at Cisco Meraki stealthWatch a CI and then on the bottom SDKs that allow third-party devices to participate in many of the functions you saw on DNA Center ok so very comprehensive around all of these different interfaces and then here are the partners they're already out there with applications you can go see these in the world of solutions right we've got all different kind of applications that folks have built you see they've been engaging in the ecosystem I know I saw the wwt those guys got that application up and running in five weeks using our API so a very good example of partners other people being able to extend the ecosystem on the bottom you got partners they're taking this into carpeted IOT networks all different kinds of places are bringing this technology and extending this there's one I'd like to drill into here today and that's what Accenture is doing with the integration with ServiceNow so I'm going to invite Jack supple to come out on stage some senior managing director at Accenture I'm going to talk a little bit about what they've been doing with DNA Center in bringing that together with their clients Jack all right they're gonna bring us some chairs here so Jack as we get settled here a little bit again thanks for joining us here absolutely great partnership tell us a little bit about your role in Accenture and what you guys have been doing around how you've been bringing DNA center into the engagements you've been involved in absolutely so I've had the privilege of leading accepters global cloud practice for the last six years that entails everything from software as a service to platform as a service you know custom development analytics as well as infrastructure as a service so broadly you know I've had the the role of setting our strategic direction making our investments deciding on methodologies and how to pivot our talent if you will and then finally you know what partners like Cisco you know we work with to ensure that you know we're going towards the where the future is you know a couple of things I would I would highlight that's been interesting the last couple of years around the maturity of cloud the first is and I think we talked about this earlier you know we are in the midst of a technology transformation and cloud is really a foundation of making that happen and the way that we take that to our clients is something we call journey to cloud so helping them with the pivot on not just the technology but also the talent and the people changes that come along with it the second one that's really interesting is you know if we went back to early days of cloud and automation etc it was all about cost reduction all right and we've really pivoted quite a bit into now innovation so a lot of the things at the edge IOT etc we're actually moving into a I almost call a new phase of custom development where we're actually envisioning new ways of actually doing things for business new revenue new processes that we didn't know before so it's about it's not about just like wringing more cost out of everything that's about how do you reinvent the functions and how do you innovate how do you bring innovation to the world that like fundamentally resets at a lower either just point or more agility it's exactly the outcome we've been going for with DNA Center now you guys have been doing some work with ServiceNow about integrating these together so tell us about that what were you going for yeah yes a couple things first off thanks for being a great partner to partner for 20 years and you know with the the advent of software-defined networks and and the automation that comes out of that we knew there was something else that we wanted to do with Cisco so we actually I'll call infused more talent more capabilities in the last year with you into a program called Skywalker ii we are the largest systems integrator of ServiceNow in the world whether it's on the ITSM slide side or whether it's on business processes so between those two we kind of said do all you know what do we want to do why do we want to do something and it really comes down to platforms right and using things like security automation standard policies on how to actually create a platform we could take to our customers that was integrated right so that to improve the speed that we could provide solutions and then second to enable new solutions to actually happen right so then anything about how how do we do this so it was a first off we worked with your DNA center product engineering team to understand what the capabilities were we brought along our network specialists with a 125cc IES worldwide that helped us you know with the network base components and we brought in ServiceNow development capabilities and through that we're able to provide you know a couple of solutions that we're now taking to the market together with you okay so through you know in the past your clients would work with they'd have kind of this level where they're doing IT Service Management where they're managing the workflow and then they had the network over here yeah and these two things were kind of manually connected and every time there was an incident would happen maybe you'd keep track of it and my service management system and then I have to get the networking team involved to do something right now you're bringing these two worlds together absolutely all right so through api's through these adapters through kind of as you said software based platforms we're now able to integrate these worlds and drive an enormous amount of not just efficiency a lot you know I can it's now faster yeah more agility and a little bit you know I can keep track of what's going on compliance all those kinds of issues correct so so really we've we've we've found two types of use cases I think that you know the one is the efficiency side as we look at you know call it repeatable tasks we are seeing with this integration and he 90% reduction and effort so again we can automate this how can we automate it but we can audit like you said everything is tracked if you will and the second which is as important and I mentioned earlier around innovation around custom development you know we're seeing new use cases that we had never envisioned before you know industries processes are changing right and with that we're seeing is a speed in development that we never saw before so we're seeing things like forty to fifty percent more efficient and faster actual development so bringing things to market more quickly which is great okay so you said you said eighty to ninety percent eighty nine percent on repeatable unrepeatable tasks which again we're talk about intent-based networking that's what we're talking about we're now bringing networking into this world where it's a platform driven API extensible and then the innovation you're seeing once you start connecting these worlds together you're finding new things to keep extending that innovation up that right absolutely you know the one I would use that I think is interesting is is real-time security compliance mmm-hmm so you know we'll go through the demo but the fact matter is is what what you know we've looked in the past someone would come in and audit your entire estate tell you what you have to do as I see so and you know on six months later you know you still had half of those things that to take care of well with this end in platform you know in a situation where you can actually say real-time I understand the policy and I can correct it now it real at the time it's actually provisioned not wait for an audit excetera afterwards okay so let's take a little let's let's do a little example here this is the kind of things that is possible now when we think about intent-based networks and the way all that let's put all the pieces together around security and policy and intent and insurance so this is a this is a real example of what can happen in in the world today so if you have to secure the application that that detects you have a compromised device whether that's stealthWatch or that's an for endpoints or that some other third-party application you can now call an API basically into DNA Center right we'll then drive an interface into service now so you'll create an incident right then from that incident you can basically remediates a basically isolate that user yep and then the network can what kind of stuff we just saw from such and say implement a policy to isolate that user from everybody else in the network maybe put him in a segment where they only have access to the Internet and then finally DNA Center can send another API call back service down says close the incident right so all of this can be automated nobody needs to get involved so you can follow up later with the user and kind of figure out what the problem was absolutely what you think she's back the audibility yeah right you know we in the past we'd have situations where someone would fix something but we didn't necessarily know how they fixed it so it could happen again so that's one of the real advantages of this integration world where there's a lot of compliance you actually know we've got a full record of everything that happened in addition to it being faster or it's happened faster didn't have to get a lot of people involved all right these are exactly the kind of innovations you guys are driving right so when we have an ecosystem API driven we can start to see this kind of stuff absolutely all right Jeff thank you very much thanks for joining us and appreciate the partnership [Applause] [Music] all right so hopefully we've given you a little bit of insight into what intent-based networking is all about and what we're able to create and now we've launched around DNA Center becoming a full part of this open ecosystem around the entire network can be integrated in ways it just hasn't been able to before and as Jack said once you start driving those integrations you start finding more and more and you know we were talking about this year night and he said you know when we started this 12 months ago we can do things now we didn't even dream we could do back then so that's exactly what we want to enable all of you to do is to drive integrations and how do we use these intent-based networking networks to accelerate innovation and for that we have definite write a huge community on how do we continue to drive up all of the skills around this and for that I'm going to invite Suzy wee to come out and talk about dev net Suzy [Applause] all right take it away great thank you David thank you everybody I want to thank all of you all of the net workers out there because all of the investment that you've put into building the world's best networks the world's most business critical networks the power of all of you and all of the networks that you build and run is truly powering the world and I want to thank you because it's hard to learn about networking you didn't choose to go into networking because networking was easy you went into networking because you wanted to build really cool things and you really invested to learn all the newest skills to learn how to put those networks together you invested to get your certifications and you're here today because you're continuing to want to learn what are the newest technologies so I want to thank you for that and what you've seen here is a whole new set of networking technologies the technologies that Chuck talked about yesterday the technologies that David just showed you today and what happens is there's this whole new capability in the network that comes with intent-based networking the network now has api's the network is programmable the network has code what does that mean for you why should you care the reason that this is important for you is because you are a developer and when I say you are a developer I don't mean the person to the left of you or the person to the right of you I mean you I don't mean the person that's down in the basement coding away I actually mean all of you but let me explain what I mean by that so when I say you're a developer I don't mean you're a coder I don't mean you're a coder who pounds out hundreds of lines of code a day yes there are developers who do that but I do mean that you need to be a power user of the network your network is a software system a software that runs software and kick-ass hardware but the network is a software system and to fully use its capabilities you need to become a power user of software and a power user of the network so you are a developer who is a power user of the network and then the coders in these network power users need to work together to make this next generation of intent-based networking give all the potential that it provides so we actually have hackathons we hold hackathons all the time and when we hold them then what we're finding is that the winners are teams that are a combination of network experts people who know their stuff and understand the capabilities that software can provide along with the coder the coder who's there maybe from university who's pounding out code who wants to just win the prize and this combination is what works and we've talked to customers who've made the transition to embrace this network programmability into their workflows and into their systems and they found that that's the magic formula is to put the IT professionals together with the application developers and that's what works so you are a developer and what we wanted to do is stay committed to you and get our community ready and to get our community ready back in 2014 we created definite definite is Cisco's Developer Program but the reason that we created it is be we knew that the network was gonna have api's we knew that the network was going to become programmable and the reason we knew it is because we were building it into our products we knew that there were gonna be API commands that are something like get network devices or set QoS policy for an application there was a lot of buzz in the industry about Sdn back in 2014 and it was all about open flow and just flow based control separating the control plane from the data plane but what we knew is that Sdn wouldn't become real until the people who build and operate the world's largest networks and most important networks were able to adopt the technology so what we did was we created dev net to help all of our developers all of you pick up the skills that you would need to work well in this world of program ability so the mission of dev net was to make our developers successful make our developers successful in their businesses and in their careers we wanted to drive business growth drive business growth for all of you in this API economy that we knew was coming and then we wanted to make innovation easy make innovation easy for you to use the api's and the programmability that was going to be coming in the years ahead so then what happened was we have this crazy idea when we started definite and we said wouldn't it be great to have a developer conference at Cisco live it was a crazy idea like a developer conference at Cisco live so we talked to the Cisco live people in January 2014 and we said you know wouldn't it be great if some day like in a year and a half from now we could have a developer conference at Cisco live and they were like that's a great idea let's do it this may we're like oh three months away so we kind of paused for five seconds and we said yeah let's do it so then we started designing we started designing a developer conference at Cisco live we had no idea if you guys were already but we knew it was important so we designed this developer conference we got the designs going and we just said okay we're gonna make it like a real developer conference 24-hour hackathon two theatre sessions with deep dive API sessions coding 101 to help people learn we're gonna call it the dev net zone and then we just planned away and then came Cisco live the week of Cisco live so we got all set up and it really kind of becomes real when you see a crane lifting up a sign a definite sign and then we're like oh my gosh here it is our first definite zone but we weren't in the programs that happened so fast nobody knew what definite was we just named it we weren't in any programs and you know we were then we were ready we got all set up we had these learning labs where you could just kind of sit there and program on these api's these network api's and then we didn't know it'd be open up its tutorial day tomorrow's the first day oh what the heck let's open up so we opened up and then there was a guy who was at the Learning Lab and I walked by he didn't know I was but I just heard him and he was on his phone he was at the Learning Lab and he called his friend he was like hey buddy you have to get over here Cisco's doing something different they're opening up because they had all these tools to learn about what the api's were and to learn how to use them so people started telling their friends and then this is what happened two days later oh my gosh you guys remember this so what happened was you guys all of you many of you came to the Debnath you just discovered it and why was this such a big hit it was a big hit because people were afraid of this world of software yeah there were tons of resources out there to learn about software you just learn about coding anywhere but our coding 101 class taught you how to learn the code in the context of networking where your first API call was get network devices and so there's this person maybe you're out there who was runs a really large network for a very large multinational company and he was getting ready for coding 101 he's like Suzy can I take this class can I take this coding 101 class I was like yeah you can take it and he was like are you sure no you don't understand I'm a beginner I was like yes this is coding 101 this is for you you know no you know I'm a beginner beginner and I was like yes this is for you and basically he took coding 101 he learned about it he got to make his network calls and everything has happened from there and as you heard Chuck say yesterday he announced and I'm going to Rhian at since this time dev net has now hit 500,000 developers [Applause] and I want to thank you because that's you it's all of you who are getting in there learning about api's learning to up your game so that you can handle this next generation of networking that's programmable that has api's that's intent based networking and what else does this 500k mean it means that we've hit critical mass we've hit critical mass in our community and that actually changes the model of innovation in networking and what do I mean by that well now you get the network effective innovation the innovation is not just the innovation that we build into our products and platforms but it's also the innovation that's built by the community and built by all of you so now you get the network effect of innovation and there I call it the dev net effect where you can use the innovation that's in our products themselves but you can use the innovation that all of you contribute and leverage that as well in the solutions that you build so now let's take a look at what happens to the network when it becomes programmable when the network becomes programmable there's this fundamental shift in how applications interact with the infrastructure so applications used to just write on top there's the line of business guys writing the apps and then the network just kind of does its thing but now that the network is programmable it has api's applications can interact with the network in entirely new ways so this is a new model and that brings together two classes of developers that I'll call infrastructure developers and app developers so the infrastructure developers they care about automation they care about observability and insights they care about security and DevOps and net DevOps running your network is code why do app developers care about network api's they care because of cloud and multi cloud they're writing cloud and multi cloud apps for their enterprise they care about a digitized infrastructure to do smart cities and transportation systems they care about performance of their application they don't say I care about Network performance but they care about application performance and that's what they need so they care about it as well so now you have app developers and infrastructure developers developing and then the question is how can we have these 500,000 developers reach and create that definite effect so what definite is doing this definite is enabling developers enabling all of you to build the skills and learn to use the API so you can build new systems in addition what we're doing is we're catalyzing the community so we can harness that innovation that all of you are creating and then what we're doing is accelerating business so that you can use all that innovation in your business and in order to do that we're creating and announcing three new things the first is the definite DNA developer center the second is definite code exchange and the third is definite ecosystem exchange so the definite DNA developer center you just seen the innovations of DNA Center and the DNA Center is now programmable and has api's and the definite DNA developer Center gives you everything that a developer needs to understand how to use the api's and how to build solutions it lets solutions architects and business professionals go in and look at solutions and use cases that have been made so that's what's offered in the DNA developer center that we're announcing today in addition we have definite code exchange what's code exchange code exchange is leveraging the code that's written by the community and by Cisco that's available out in github but code exchange is a curated list of the software that's out there to let you know what software works with what platforms so code exchange is just telling you hey this is the software we recommend for using with this platform and so this is to help enable and let you leverage code from the community and then we have ecosystem exchange when you're building an app for a mobile device it's easy you just put it on your mobile device when you're building an application and infrastructure and a workflow integration it's more complex it involves a programmable infrastructure it involves ISV software it involves a solutions integrator that can bring these things together and all of that is available in definite ecosystem exchange where we list the partners the is fees the IH fees the systems integrators that are available to work on a platform so that you can leverage them in your solutions and that's what definite ecosystem exchanges and then the other thing that we want to announce is an interesting way challenge to invite you in the community to help us with intent-based networking we're inviting you to code an intent with dev net and what do I mean by that we have our api's we have our API that are available we talked about intent based networking and the cool thing about intent based networking is you can state a business intent if you remember yesterday from the Children's Hospital in LA said I want to get the PlayStation onto my network so that I can let this kid play that's a business intent and once you do that you want to turn that into Network action and that's what intent based networking is and we're inviting you the community to make a wish for a business intent that you would like done and we're inviting the community to code up some business intents and share them on code exchange so when you put all of these things together what are the kinds of things that you can do why do a plication x' the network how do they help business let me just give you one last example here which is that Web Summit big conference like Cisco live even bigger forty thousand people come and what they want to do is they want to provide a great conference experience so you see this conference I want to go to this session how do I get there turns out there's this company called map wise software guys they make software that help you with wayfinding but they do that by getting information from our Meraki Wireless solutions that are providing indoor location and mapping so you put all of these things together and all of a sudden the networking guys are building out their networks the software guys like map wise are building out their software and then you're providing solutions for a new business solution so it's an interesting way that the network community and the software community can come together okay so the next steps this is an exciting new world for all of us but you're asking how can I get started well this way can started if you're ready to make your first API call whether you're a business professional or a networker you can take coding 101 in our network program ability learning class if you're already using network api's then you can code intent with dev net and submit your code to code exchange if you're building business solutions you can go to ecosystem exchange take a look at the solutions that you can build or submit a solution and then you can also come to the dev net zone and go to the innovation talk here at Cisco live and you can see this all at developer Docs is co.com slash start now and so in finale I just want to say that there's a whole new technology in front of us with intent based networking and with five hundred thousand members we've hit critical mass in our community that enables this new model of innovation where it's innovation from Cisco as well as innovation from all of you and then we're providing tools like code exchange and ecosystem exchange to help you harness all of that into your business and I was speaking to a networker the other day and he was saying oh you have the definite zone that's a place for those developers to go it's not for me and I told them no you're a networker but you are a developer and the definite zone is for you so if you haven't done it yet you haven't gotten over it's not too late we're at the beginning of this inflection so please jump in the definite zone is for net workers it's for you you're a developer and Cisco we love our developers thank you [Music] all right Susie we like Susie you know a couple months ago I read an article and some somebody had come to a Cisco dab net event and they wrote a something in the press saying def net was Cisco's best-kept secret so we're working on that's not going to be the case anymore all right so everybody Susie we just done a tremendous job go see dev net out with the worlds of solutions alright we've covered a lot all right hang in there with me we're now going to talk about collab spend a few minutes on collab Jonathan Rosenberg is gonna be out here to show you some incredible demos of what's going on there but first we're gonna give you a little glimpse of all of the innovation that's happening in the collaboration business roll the video what makes us human collaboration it's in our DNA when we work together and build on each other's ideas we can create amazing things when given the right tools it's our creative intuitive learners that will move us forward because the more we work together the more human [Applause] [Music] [Music] doing all righty I am excited to be here today to talk to you about my favorite topic meetings what why are you laughing I mean it's really my favorite topic so so we're excited about meetings I got to start by asking this question raise your hand if you're already a WebEx customer raise your hand let's see it okay that's pretty good on this one day over there not a WebEx customer service Cisco sales guy in the audience I'm sure I'm sure we can help you outside all right a few people raised their hands well right after the deal so I can thank you all for being great WebEx customers and the great news is is that your meeting experience is about to get much much better why is that we've been working hard in the collaboration business to take our two platforms Cisco spark if you use that was which was all about messaging for the most part and Cisco WebEx that was about meetings and we brought them together all under the single brand WebEx and by doing that not only did we bring the brands together we brought the technologies together and so now Cisco WebEx teams formerly known as Cisco spark Cisco WebEx meetings and WebEx devices all work together seamlessly to create this amazing new meetings experience but I think that's enough PowerPoint does anyone want to see some demos yeah all right let's go over here I'm gonna bring up my PC and start with the demos so what I've got here in my browser is the new WebEx landing page so if you're a WebEx user and you go to the website to log into your meetings this is what the new WebEx is gonna look like and basically it's simplified and that's really the theme of what we're trying to do here is to simplify and bring video to the forefront to make that experience great so you can do here all the things you would imagine I can join a meeting I can schedule meeting I can see my upcoming meetings but I want to do for you now is actually go join a meeting and show you really how we brought video to the forefront of this experience I'm gonna click on that guy right there and I'm gonna join my personal meeting room this is my personal bridge where I can - everybody's sort of waiting for my meeting and be in there for me to collaborate and work with easy to have ad hoc meetings and schedule meetings and I go right in and look at that beautiful video experience right there is that amazing all right so so this is a very video centric experience which you can see up this poor guy's like oh my god I'm on the front stage at everyone yes thank you so so you get this great video first experience there now sometimes you're in a meeting and you want to sort of I don't I don't want to look at him per se let's say I want to look at everyone in the meeting and get like an eagle eye view one of the things we've just introduced and this is so cool you ready for this five by five grid lab take a look at that is that amazing or what every one way that's great we lovingly call this Hollywood Squares in the collaboration business you can see why and so besides this great video centric experience it also we've simplified things so let me go back to that single speaker view there for a second and what we've done is we've taken all the controls you need for your meeting and we put them in one place I want to hang up big red X wanna chat hit the chat icon all right want to see who's in the meeting hit the people button all really easy to use and and many people Compton hey Jonathan that looks like your video conferencing user interface yes that's the point we bring these things all together to make a simple user to easy to use experience so I'm gonna I'm gonna say goodbye but I'll be right back as you'll see in a moment so I'm gonna leave that meeting and off we go now the next thing that I want to share with you is all the things that we're doing to make this experience super awesome on mobile devices right you know mobile devices are becoming increasingly used in the workplace and we really wanted to make the collaboration experience they are great I'm gonna turn on my screen mirroring here and get the thing up and hopefully you'll see my iPad now one of the things that these devices are really meant to do is video I mean look at this thing this thing looks like it was meant for video so I wanted to take that great video experience you just saw on desktop and bring it to the mobile device so I'm gonna join back that same meeting that I just was in and we're gonna look at the new simplified video centric WebEx experience there on this application now there's gonna obviously be some differences that we have to deal with some too don't worry about that and there we go once again fullscreen video hey everybody how's it going so so again fullscreen video experience now that five by five grid view was awesome on the desktop but it doesn't really fit on a mobile device especially not an iPhone whether it's just not enough screen real estate so we had to do something different so we thought about it for a while and we came up with this awesome idea so here I can press up button I get six people now what if I want to see more you're ready for this I just geeked out over this stuff you already ice white and it brings up the next page of video so I can literally swipe through the video participants yeah thank you it's gone and see see everybody that's in the meeting so so that's great now another thing though that these devices do that's really awesome is Apple and and the whole Google ecosystem are bringing all these new capabilities around augmented reality and we said you know what would be super cool I imagine I mean a meeting like this and I want to share my camera but I'd like to bring an object from augmented reality into the experience and so we've been going and we building that in the end let's take a look at this example here let's say I'm on stage just like I am now and what I want to do is I want to talk to this team about you know making the stage presence scene a little bit better and a particular it seems kind of empty right wouldn't it be cool if I could take an object from virtual reality and put it in the physical space you ready for this this is also so cool and there we go on stage with me and augmented reality spark board is that awesome or what woo and see I can actually walk around the whole thing and you see how it adjusts it's not really there I promise but now I'm talking to the team and let's say I want to say you know guys I think we should position this thing a little bit differently why don't we put it over there and let's make it bigger so you can actually adjust the whole thing you know of course like I'm squishing you come on we all wanted to do that exactly that is amazing so I'm going to stop the share and again you can see the power of video centric experience and bringing augmented reality to the mobile experience alright so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to take that meetings experience and I'm gonna go back to my desktop here and show you what it looks like inside the new WebEx teams now for those of you who are with it before we had Cisco spark which was a messaging app for the most part with some meetings capability built in we now integrate it with WebEx so what does that mean is that means we have one platform for collaboration before the meeting during the meeting and after the meeting so here I've got a chat room if you've never used this go spark it's sort of a what we call a space and it's got lots of stuff in it all the people I'm meeting with are in there and they're sharing files and messages so I can type hello and you can see the team is chatting away and it's a persistent chat app so I can scroll upwards and see all the content and it provides easy access to all the information we're sharing with each other so for example I can tap there on the files and get a quick look at all the files that have been shared into this collaboration space really easy to use now what we've done is we've integrated this with WebEx meetings so that when it's time for me to go back to the meeting I can join that same WebEx meeting I joined from the WebEx app I can now join from the WebEx teams app how do I do it easy press the big green button there it is calling to me streaming to me press me press me and now when I do that and I just want to explain one more thing before I do that we also wanted to integrate these with our devices so here you see our Cisco room kit our WebEx room kit device this thing is awesome it's a sort of like a speaker bar form factor with a built-in camera you get beautiful digital speaker tracking and what we've done with this technology is we've integrated this into the WebEx meeting also so all these things working together the WebEx meeting in the cloud the WebEx device here and the WebEx teams application all work seamlessly to join that same WebEx meeting so I'm going to do that for you now press the button tells me I'm going to join using this room kit over here and here we do the prayed to the demo gods this is the toughest part of the whole thing hit the join video and there it goes it comes on and we get a great wait wait wait for it wait for it yeah they get a great video centric experience there on the screen and then and then but on here on my desktop but you can see I can still totally control this meeting so it's a WebEx meeting so if I want to see who are the people in the meeting there's all the people in the roster and if I'm the host and I want to mute someone I can do that if I want to turn on the recording there's the recording button it's the same WebEx meeting the same WebEx controls all he exposed up oh my gosh I'm in front of 20,000 people yes hello so we had to get lots of help from all over the world to get 25 people ready on this meeting just so you know so they're in their houses and all kinds of stuff so we had this great new WebEx experience in the WebEx team's application combined with the WebEx device as simple as a single click and so let me hang up and for everyone that is the new Cisco WebEx thank you so with that let me bring David back up on stage to close this out David Jonathan always impressive thank you sir all right thanks buddy thank you all right I got to pipe that's you all right always amazing what these guys are doing with the portfolio all right let me wrap it up just real quick 30 seconds there's a question I get all the time right when you're in my job you get this question all the time what's your road map where are you heading what are you guys doing what's the big picture all right so let me just give you a one view of how all of this comes together this is where we're going as a company we're gonna build intent-based networking across all of these multi networking domains and multi-cloud it's really important to drive that automation security analytics across this entire network infrastructure it's not about solving this and only one part of the network we have to do that but the end game is to do it across all parts of the network and only cisco has the assets to do that to drive this intent-based infrastructure all the way from the IOT domain all the way to multi cloud and we look forward to working with you on that over the next several years as we build out this architecture all right have a great time at the rest of Cisco live [Applause] hey guys welcome back from the day two keynote there was so much information from david declar learning about dev net webex DNA Center well we're gonna learn more about networking now with Annie who is in the world of solutions and he's going to be talking to us about the NOC the NOC is what basically builds the infrastructure for the entire siskel live they do it in like two days everything from the Wi-Fi it's the networking let's talk to Annie and learn more about the NOC hey Stephanie I'm live here on the show floor in front of the network operations center with JW McIntyre hi how are you doing I'm well thank you a little tired at this point it's been insanity all week long and it's only day two why don't you tell us a little bit about this Network Operations Center you got set up behind us here yeah absolutely so we're at the Orange County Convention Center this year in Orlando it's a little bit bigger exhibit hall than we had previously between this and the neighboring properties we're gonna cover an almost 2 million square feet of exhibit space and meeting room space this year 2 million yes and and we had one less day to do it so about 3 and a half days I got a great team with me and we managed to put out about 550 switches and almost a thousand access points a lot of them with dual 5 gig antennas so it was quite laborious and was a lot of long hours but we're here now and everything's up and we're providing wireless connectivity to almost 20,000 concurrent clients here right now and then at the show 20,000 concurrent clients we've got 500 switches 2 million square feet basically a small city in two days and we also have knocked her as the top of every hour I hear we do yes absolutely and they are packed we got one starting here again pretty soon so we're getting a good look at racks and everything that's going on in them we've got about 220 gigabytes bits rather of bandwidth coming in from CenturyLink and that app is supporting storage in our data center well I like to thank you JW McIntyre for taking the time out to talk to us I know it's been kind of crazy I know you've got another tour coming up here and about who five minutes so I should let you go but thanks so much yeah thanks for something like thank you thank you so much Annie alongside with networking something that I love about Cisco is their corporate social responsibility aspect of it just making the world a better place so we're gonna be talking to Mandy right now who's in the csr makerspace she has some folks who she wants to talk to Mandy here's to you thank you yes it's me Mandy were in the makerspace and I'm standing here with Catherine and Johanna no johanna what's happening here we are building modular laptops which are pie tops and they are fostering steam education and so it's giving people a chance to build their own laptop and these are functional laptops but also really fostering that steam education and creativity among among students I mean it's it's so busy it looks so exciting and Catherine what what is what's going on with the students networking academy tell me about that great I'm networking Academy has been around at Cisco for over 20 years we have over 8 million students in the program that have graduated 1.3 million this year alone and we actually have some of our students here as part of the dream team who have actually wired this whole space for 26,000 users here at Cisco live they've had their actual hands-on experience here at Cisco live 12 of them from around the u.s. so they're amazing oh that skills like security IOT networking and they're really preparing for the jobs of the future here at Cisco live that's amazing so the networking Academy really gets them to their goals I'm guessing definitely a lot of our customers and partners are actually hiring our networking academy students they're looking for entry-level IT staffing so they can look to our networking academies to actually hire these students who are trained in networking and digitization and soft skills like communications problem solving critical thinking so they're amazing amazing people in these programs Wow well I'd love to meet them okay here we have a couple of them right here we have dalabo and amelia who can tell you a little bit about what they do in the program and where where they're what their backgrounds are so yeah tell us a little bit how Network Academy is affected you what have you learned there you go what have you learned Network Academy has been amazing it actually helped me transition from learning about medicine to learning about networking I originally went to school to be a doctor and then I took some time off and then I went to networking academy and started with IT essentials which is like the basic level of networking and it really helped me just build that foundation for networking but also it allowed me to come here and learn that I can still integrate technology and I can integrate technology as well as healthcare as I learned as Chuck described the integration of Technology and the Children's Hospital wow that's really cool and I mean oh how about you how about you well I got a lot of training with networking in the army so it really built on the foundation that was already there I learned a lot of different techniques and a lot of deep in-depth things while going to the networking academy so it has really changed my life because it's allowing me to go into the private sector and be able to be successful excellent and Johanna I'm just curious can we see these computers a little more close-up can you explain a little bit more of what's going on yeah so these laptops are powered by the Raspberry Pi board so attendees actually have an opportunity to screw in every screw put those raspberry PI's on there they are pretty cool and like I said they are a functional laptop that are that are going to be given to the students in networking academy in Florida and some in Texas and our goal today is 500 units and I'm sure will reach that by about 4 o'clock today so do people get on some sort of list to sign up for this or I'm encouraging people to stop by at this point there is a waitlist but just come on by and see if we have a spot available and you can come build your own PI top hygiene kits for the next couple of days that's right hygiene kits clean the world kits tomorrow and Thursday as well come on by that is amazing so tell me more about the network Academy Katherine what makes it so powerful well I think a couple of things it's it's free curriculum that we provide to over 10,500 institutions around the world they're in community colleges universities nonprofits they're actually in the military they're in homeless institutions NGOs are helping refugees and other parts of the world so the same curriculum is offered all over the world and free to these institutions to deliver locally in a really locally relevant way and I would say the other thing is it's always cutting edge technology so whatever it's always mapped to those current jobs current technologies so that they're coming out really ready for those jobs not just of today but for tomorrow so and it's been around for 20 years 20 years that was my question Wow 20 years that's incredible Cisco started it back when the kind of the internet started back in the what 1997 I think it was 99 timeframe and here we are in 2018 and it couldn't be even more relevant as the network is really at the at the core of everything that we're doing today in technology so it's really exciting and how did you get into it I came from the nonprofit world and then came into Cisco and started getting involved with the networking academy program from an education back then we were really involved in our education department and now it's expanded again internationally globally it started in six states in the US and now it's in 180 countries today in ten different languages that we offer the program in inner you know for our curriculum so it's pretty amazing how it's grown and again it's connected to jobs so all of these students most of these students are either going on to a career in technology starting their own business they've got all these different options that they can they can do with the skills that they've learned in the program Wow and Johanna just a little bit tell me a little bit about what you do here besides obviously I am the social impact lead for Cisco life so I actually work very closely with the Cisco CSR team and deploying very similarly to what the pillars they uphold at Cisco overall and so I work very closely with their team and do the activities on site for a Cisco life excellent excellent and we thank you now going back to the students just curious and I can or you could use the mic just curious what career are you going into with this network networking academy how is it helping you with what's next what what's your plan my plan is to obtain my CCIE and writing and switching and the network academy has allowed me to obtain my C sent and now I'm going to take my CCNA here so hopefully I can obtain that and then going to routing and switching and then possibly go into sales with a collaboration of technology and healthcare gotcha and I do have a question oh go ahead Emilio and go ahead and answer so what else planning I'm doing is I'm actually an instructor right now and I was actually looking to see what I can do to make my cat an Academy Network Academy and be a certified instructor and continue to help soldiers learn more about networking in the way that I did excellent excellent and johanna maybe this is a question for you if you're not here physically how do we get involved on socially social network or yeah so we have a hashtag hashtag CIL us and cisco csr also has hashtag global problem solvers so I would definitely follow us I'm getting involved in the conversation and it's it's gonna be a great thing and it will be continuous at cisco has a goal of 1 billion impact by 2025 and we are marching towards that goal on-site excellent excellent and any other exciting news from you with the networking academy what it's done for you that you didn't expect what I did not expect my transition to be permanent because I initially started Network Academy just as something just to do because I wasn't in school and then I did it and then I kept going and now I'm back in school finishing my computer science degree and I'm still doing CCNA on the side so I really didn't expect it to be permanent because the curriculum is really in-depth and it really made me understand things from the bottom and now I'm trying to make my way up to the top so gotcha well I'm hearing from the producer that I gotta toss it back to the studio thank you so much for joining me everyone this was so fascinating be sure to check this
