Today, more applications are moving to the cloud, and multiple clouds are being deployed. With the explosion of end-points, mobility, and nomadic computing, the volumes of data used for analytics, machine learning and automation can result in high costs to transport to central locations for processing. Traditional service provider architectures can no longer meet modern needs.
At the same time, the connecting network has become critical in delivering high-quality experiences, application performance, and security across data, services, and applications. To solve these issues, a new services edge architecture is emerging that is based on distributing computing capacity to the edge of the network. This architecture results in lower latency with respect to subscribers. Edge computing is emerging as a general architectural shift, which most standards developing organizations (SDOs) such as ETSI refer to as multi-access edge computing or MEC.
Fundamental to implementing a successful edge computing model, is having the right components to support the necessary infrastructure use cases as well as the many revenue generating use cases. In this session we will explore such fundamental components, the requirements on them, and a solution architecture. We will also examine various use cases and share information on successful deployments.
We will close the session with a live demonstration of an increasingly popular platform, the Cisco Virtual Infrastructure Manager and associated use cases.
At the end of the session, you will:

Cybersecurity threats seems to come from everywhere today. And with each threat, new tools emerge to combat them which you repeated layer into your system as a safeguard. However, layering systems in this way creates complexity. Each product lacks consistency, interfaces are complicated, and your security analysts have to swivel back and forth among all of them trying to understand what these systems are saying.
This has been the situation in cybersecurity for far too long. That’s why security must work together, but too often it doesn’t. At Cisco, we’re changing all of that.
Cisco Threat Response automates integrations across the Cisco Security portfolio, and aggregates threat intelligence not only from Cisco Talos, but from third party sources as well. It enables security operations teams to detect, investigate, and remediate much faster and easier—a necessity in today’s cyber landscape. Get more value from your Cisco Security investment when the products work together to save you time and manual effort—especially when you are under attack and time matters most.
Join us in this special webinar session to learn how Cisco Threat Response can help you get more value from your Cisco Security investments. Our session will also include a demo of the solution along with some real-world use case examples.

It is generally agreed that 5G will need Enterprise solutions enabled via the MNO to complete the revenue picture. To provide outstanding services for enterprise customers, the MNO needs to make the WAN look and feel like an extension of their LAN. Today, MNO business customers lack the visibility and control of their IT services across the MNO network. The Cisco Unified Domain Center (UDC) creates a mobile cloud portal for the enterprise. It extends the enterprise intent-based networking domain to include connected bandwidth via MNO networks (this can include network slices, mobile SD-WAN, VPN, etc.).

Service Providers are challenged to grow and operate complex networks of peering connections that can keep up with demand and provide a paramount client experience. With internet traffic growing at 26% CAGR through 2022, and with 82% of the internet traffic predicted to be low-latency video packets, augmenting backhaul network capacity is no longer economical nor efficient for this demand. Learn how increasing your local port and bandwidth capacity and segmenting traffic into discrete network functions to shape the ingress or egress traffic flows can help eliminate needless backhaul and costs.

Security teams know their environments are being targeted by advanced threats, but often lack the bandwidth, tools, and budget to adequately respond. As a result, organizations of all sizes are choosing to augment their in-house IT security with managed security services.
As a managed security service providers (MSSP), you have the unique opportunity to alleviate many of the burdens your customers face when it comes to security. When you partner with the right security vendor, security services become a profitable way to differentiate yourself from the competition and strengthen existing customer relationships.
Cisco makes it easier and more profitable for MSSPs to deliver differentiated managed security services to their customers. It starts with a comprehensive and integrated security portfolio to protect customer data and brand reputations. With accelerated managed service creation and delivery, MSSPs can speed their time to market, increase agility across deployment scenarios, and scale with service experts.
In this webinar you will learn insights on the cloud managed security opportunity for Service Providers. We’ll also share our latest offerings in the managed security space and demonstrate how with Cisco as a strong partner for service profitability, MSSPs can reduce time to monetization, grow their security business, and drive recurring revenue.

Service providers must be able to support ever increasing users (people and “things”), faster speeds, more mobile connections, more mobile services, and more video. Keeping users connected and happy is particularly difficult because networking has its own version of the Pareto Principle with a slightly different ratio. On a network, a mere 4 percent of data interactions can account for as much as 70 percent of data traffic volume. This situation will be exasperated as 5G gets “turned-on” and new applications are added.
Throttling traffic negatively impacts customer experience and can actually increase the congestion issues.
In this webinar you will see how a unique machine-learning solution optimizes large traffic flows (like video) into surplus capacity. This approach mitigates contention with nonvideo flows, which leads to increased speed and cell site capacity.
Attendees will learn:
| • | How Cisco Ultra Traffic Optimization works |
| • | See results from actual implementations and trials |
| • | See actual cost savings and user satisfaction increases |

Service Providers are challenged with a complex and costly environment where multiple venders are providing WAN, switching, calling/phones services. Typically, SPs do not bundle WAN, switching, calling/phones services and require multiple vendor solutions. This often results in lackluster deployments, IT management, security/SDWAN functionality, support and overall customer experience.
Join our special webinar on June 25th to hear Cisco’s latest innovations here to simplify deployment, IT management, lowers operating costs, and provides a better overall user experience for end-customers and SPs alike. Cisco is bringing together the best of breads in the networking, security and collaboration sectors.
