In addition, the company unveiled its vision to achieve a simplified and more unified experience for customers and partners across its product portfolio.

"We're thrilled to share ground-breaking innovation and a robust set of new capabilities across our portfolio with our customers this year at Cisco Live.

According to Cisco’s State of Global Innovation report, 85% of IT professionals indicate they value simplicity in their IT systems. The new technologies introduced at Cisco Live highlight Cisco’s commitment to simplify user experiences and help drive an inclusive future for all. Technologies announced included:

The vision for Cisco Networking Cloud

Cisco is on a mission to simplify IT, announcing its vision for Cisco Networking Cloud, an integrated management platform experience for both on-premise and cloud operating models, which will help customers easily access and navigate its platforms to manage all Cisco networking products from one place.

Featuring cloud-driven automation, rich network insights, and innovation through its partner ecosystem, Cisco Networking Cloud will accelerate the delivery of unified experiences and drive measurable business outcomes.

New innovations announced at Cisco Live include single sign-on (SSO), API key exchange/repository, cross-platform navigation, expanded network assurance with Cisco ThousandEyes, cloud monitoring for Catalyst devices, sustainable energy networking solutions for the data centre, and more.

Cisco is also simplifying its business to help customers simplify theirs, with a more flexible Cisco Catalyst switch stack, improved visibility into data centre power and energy consumption, and new artificial intelligence (AI) data centre blueprints to improve performance and visibility for network operators. 

In addition, Cisco is delivering on its promise of the artificial intelligence (AI)-driven Cisco Security Cloud to simplify cybersecurity and empower people to do their best work from anywhere, regardless of the increasingly sophisticated threat landscape.

The company has launched a new secure service edge (SSE) solution, Cisco Secure Access, to enable superior hybrid work experiences and dramatically simplify access across any location, any device, and any application.

Finally, Cisco marked several key milestones towards its Security Cloud platform vision with the unveiling of Cisco Multicloud Defense, the Cisco Secure Firewall 4200 Series appliance and 7.4 software, as well as cloud-native application security enhancements in Panoptica.

Cisco further launched a new Full Stack Observability (FSO) Platform—a vendor-agnostic solution that harnesses the power of the company’s full portfolio and marks a key advancement in Cisco's accelerating FSO strategy. It delivers contextual, correlated, and predictive insights that allow customers to resolve issues more quickly and optimise experiences, while also minimising business risk.

This offering enables a new observability ecosystem that brings data together from multiple domains including application, networking, infrastructure, security, cloud, sustainability, and business sources.
