[Music] welcome back to the Cisco live studio here at Cisco live in Barcelona had a great talk just now about cloud in the modern workspace but now we're going to change gears a little bit I suppose all or maybe go up a tier because I'm going to be talking about architecture or how to architect your various networks and the term multi domain has been floating around a lot at Cisco live this week so we're gonna dig a little bit deeper into what that actually means so I've got Prashant Chinoy here today he's vice president of marketing for networking and developer platforms at Cisco thanks so much for being here sure thanks for having me no problem so let's launch straight into the questions because I think everyone's curious yeah multi-domain what is it is it an extension of an intent based networking how should a viewers at home understand it so put simply most of the organizations are trying to get their users and their devices to connect to applications on any cloud right so and there are various domains or parts of the infrastructure that come into being to make that connection happen so at a broad level multi-domain incorporates all networking all of security and all of the application in a cloud environment but from a networking perspective there are domains within networking - right whether it's the branch domain the access the wide area network data center heading into public cloud so you can say that yes it is an extension of our intent based networking strategy to connect all these different parts of networking from user to application together and make them work in a simple consistent secure manner so is there a particular reason why you wouldn't then just put everything onto a single fabric absolutely but see most of our customers are in this phase approach right so each of the domain have their own requirement the access domain needs to connect these users and devices to the outside world the wide area network need to connect all these branch offices to the multi cloud world so each of the domains themselves need to be automated have the right kind of security policies and the right analytics and intelligence but then they need to work together to have one single system so of course that's the architectural approach to make them work seamlessly as one integrated system while providing the flexibly and control to manage each domain independently based on how the IT operations team is structured so it's about having that in two end interoperability but still the flexibility to manage each domain according to its requiring ago awesome and I'm glad you mentioned program El Bulli or automation now obviously AI and machine learning are being built into a lot of Cisco products these days and how does this help inform our vision I suppose of the multi domain architecture a key part of our strategy has been how can we leverage the power of data from a networking perspective security and application perspective to provide this critical insight to our customers right with it's our own business insights how their businesses are performing or applications are performing IT insights how their networks are performing our security insights so one of the key areas where we use machine learning and AI was in the concept of security to detect malware in encrypted traffic without having to decrypt the traffic so providing security while privacy and we do this by understanding traffic patterns and applying machine learning technology now we are putting that for network operations how can I use data within the network and things connected to the network to understand what is normal for your environment so we can focus on just the alerts that mattered to you and help you simplify your operations drastically so you'll see is getting more and more machine learning and AI capability brought into this world for better IT operations better security and better application experience awesome in I suppose a lot of customers are probably thinking to themselves okay how do I actually get started with this so how important is is timing when it comes to deploying or looking at implementing a multi domain architecture that's what everything timing is always critical right so but we always tell our customers have a phase approach right like the walk run fly try to start off with each individual domains and what we found most of our customers really find value is through our assurance capability right like it drastically helps them that day two operations for monitoring and troubleshooting so start off with a few use cases which has very specific business outcomes in one particular domain and then you have controllers for each domains that once you have them up and running you can then make them talk together right so start off individual domains start with small sites start off with base automation and assurance to extract value and provide that business outcome and then expand your capabilities within each domain and then stitch domains together so the key takeaway is to not jump feet first into the court order and till you've learnt to swim a little bit first and that's exactly what I recommend to my customers as well that sure insist cases it's a quick win you can start getting benefit from it straightaway and what would you tell customers if they wanted to learn more how can they inform themselves about multi domain architecture and how it applies to their organization absolutely since we are here at Cisco live I mean this is a beautiful world of solutions and we have a lot of demos particularly talking about how you're switching the world of access ran data center public cloud environments together from an automation security policy perspective so I encourage people who are here to take a look at our world of solution and attend breakout sessions they talked about multi domain architecture and for people or online listening to us good is cisco.com slash go slash ib n stands for intern base networking and you'll see a focus on multi domain architectures and what are the business benefits and architectural design principles we have that awesome and since we've got a little bit of extra time what the kind of technologies underpinning so which customers which have which technologies would this be relevant for right now right now this is truly focused on networking and security predominantly right like and the world of networking is very very complex because of the hyper connected world and the multi cloud world right like how do you re architect network for this new world of mobile first cloud Foss is a key priority for us so that's the technology within that obviously there are controller led architectures for access ran data center and public cloud and for each of these environments we made sure that security is not an afterthought but it's built to provide that threat detection and threat protection and use the data and intelligence from these networking domains to provide better security so that's our key focus area but as we do that at the end of the day it's all about the applications right and it's all about the user experience for these applications so that's the end goal for us right how can we make businesses create new business models and revenue streams by making these applications be securely accessed by any user on any cloud on any device right so that's the core focus for us absolutely perfect so you've heard it here and multi domain architecture is definitely a way to go for the future if you want to learn more there's going to be a lot of great sessions available on Cisco live.com and now we're gonna continue our focus on enterprise networking we're gonna look a little bit deeper into wireless technologies because there's a lot of development happening in that area as well you may have heard the term Wi-Fi six floating around let's look into that a little bit deeper but first thank you for Sean for being here today but I think we're gonna head over to nish who is out on the show floor for a Wi-Fi six demo I'm here in the world of solutions really excited to learn a bit more about Wi-Fi six five do you have that you play together and to do that I'm here with friend Niehaus hey Fred how are you sure certainly Cisco got into Wi-Fi in 2000 with the acquisition of a company called arrow net I go to Wi-Fi all the way to 1994 when we took a barcode reader in a walkie talkie and we went beep and with that started out for Hertz rent-a-car car companies then then Walmart said could you make our registers wire us it was Ethernet right so we got new radios and we built the very first Wi-Fi radios we call it wireless Ethernet now it's called Wi-Fi and it's amazing how many people around the world today rely on the technology that you are right exactly and it's it's some folks call it whiffy depending upon where you're at but but yes so we're showing our brand new Wi-Fi six access points what Wi-Fi six is a new generation of Wi-Fi the first you know the first wife eyes were all called like a toe 2.11 something right well people got confused they think LTE 2g 3G 4G so we decided the Wi-Fi Alliance that does the naming decided to call it Wi-Fi six and it's kind of funny because Wi-Fi six is everything you have and Wi-Fi five all of the things that make your experience faster better it's all about reduced latency and making sure that like you know sometimes if you turn off Wi-Fi and you use some carrier it might look fast or something we fixed all of that this is all about getting not only the fastest throughput but no delay no delay show me the screen right now experience right in applications and companies so having a huge impact on that now you mentioned Wi-Fi six is faster how much faster is working well it here's here's how it is it can be twice as fast but it depends on how many clients right now when you buy a phone if you go get your latest you know phone it might have Wi-Fi six in it right but a lot of people's old laptops the the the tablet you're holding may not be Wi-Fi six so when your network gets to at least 30 percent of Wi-Fi six clients now look out now things are moving very very fast right so okay so speed is but also latency you know make give it to me fast you'll make me ask for its second time no retries you know the best way to describe this in the most simplest terms a bunch of a bus pulls and lots of cars traditional Wi-Fi one or two people get in each car in the car goes off now when the bus pulls up everybody gets in every car totally stuffed then the train goes so the latency the delays are gone it's a big deal we've got technology such a feeling pick up tell me a bit about the Cisco and well today we have four series of access points these two here the first two were early to market releases the next to have Cisco proprietary neat things in it there's a special radio right here that's the orange is the art it's called an RF ASIC it is a special radio that when you're talking to clients okay the clients are talking to your AP there are things that the special radio does it pulls itself away so that the AP can work with the clients but the special radio goes is there any interference in the band is there any problems where are the other clients it does all of that in the background so that you'll don't have to wait or delay while it's doing it this is all about high efficiency do it quick do it fast this is the 9100 portfolio the big unique thing is is the previous aps were called arrow net a piece I'm an arrow net guy for over 20 years cisco decided they're gonna rename this catalyst and I'm hoping out why catalyst what's wrong with arrow now right they're like well two things we went to pin a Farina the same people that make the alpha Romero and we said design us something that looks really nice come out with something really nice have something so so Pininfarina helped us design them and then we're gonna recall it catalyst instead of air on it because catalyst is Cisco's very best name the very best thing Cisco has is catalyst so put that name on your very best ApS also make sure we were okay with all this provided the qualities there I don't want this thing to fail I don't want to have a problem with this access point I could throw it around it won't fail that's a big deal I have to have a now so let's take a look at this Wi-Fi six video we can learn even more enjoy [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] continuing the conversation now on Wi-Fi six because once you've got that all deployed all that shiny new Wi-Fi six networking you're going to need to manage it somehow so I want to shift our focus a little bit on to DNA assurance and I want to start this segment off with a little customer story from my home country of Germany actually the supermarket chain ver ver which is a large supermarket group in Germany they have about 50 billion euros in revenue 10,000 stores and like 300,000 employees it's also where I do my weekly grocery shop and there is Cisco customer who took the journey towards the annoyance and they wanted to share a little bit about what their experience is like and what they got worth from it so let's have a look at that video now and I'll be right back to talk about it later to meet artificial intelligence is the way to handle the work fields of the future my name is Florence Ophir I'm head of the department basic infrastructure and services reveille International is a food retailer in Central and Eastern Europe we operate 5,000 stores in 11 countries our internal customers expects the network simply to work we implemented the cisco DNA center with affluence including AI and network analytics as personalized based lining assurance learns how our network lives and informs us only about the relevant issues the time to resolve the ticket has been reduced dramatically because now you have all the information at your fingertips and one of two persons working in the wireless planning and operations team very international one cool thing about the 650 and a scientist other wireless sensors we are using time to get the client independent view of our network so we can see trends and act accordingly my favorite fuse the clayman network F overview it allows me to look at the senior store and how the network is performing on typically should repeat that the store manager course mean entails that yesterday the network was not working and also for the client open his 360 view and soon into the relevant getting the root cause for sent it out of all the river informations inside roses under the important data points which is extremely helpful this is the biggest improvement from you when Cisco DNA same time nor able to see all areas of the network at the senior plant it wasn't possible for the biggest improvement is relevancy now with ai network analytics we can focus and the important things my team has more time to focus on new projects and innovations Cisco is our trusted partner since the mid 90s and we want to go this way together what an interesting story there from the great customer of ours in Germany their DNA surance is definitely the future I see it time and time again in my customers and you can see how rivers using wireless sensors and AI - you know I think you said there's two people in the wireless team covering 10,000 stores I think that's a pretty impressive feat to be honest and they're using those technologies to resolve issues faster and instead focus on delivering new capabilities to their customers into the group as a whole if you're interested in speaking to one of Cisco's sales representatives about any of the new and exciting technologies that you're seeing here today we've talked about a whole range of different technologies over the last couple of hours please go to cisco.com slash go slash sales to be connected to a relevant expert for you in your region and you can have one-to-one conversations with them for someone like me or Zane or some of the other guys that work in the account management team to find out more about the technologies that we have in store for you that brings us to the end of our enterprise networking segment for today we're going to be shifting focus to cloud and after a couple of short messages we'll be right back to look into that
