Network Infrastructure

True to its name, the Cisco Live event is supported by its own network infrastructure. A dedicated team of Cisco network engineers come together to design a world-class infrastructure to support nearly 6000 delegates, more than 9000 delegate devices and Terabytes of traffic during the event. A rich suite of key Cisco products comprise the event solution including: Core Routing and Switching, Voice, Wireless, Network Management and Video.

Delegates can experience the network powering Cisco Live at the “Fishbowl” Network Operations Center (NOC) in the heart of the World of Solutions. The NOC gives tech savvy delegates the ability to watch a variety of live infrastructure related statistics, displayed on plasma screens as well as opportunities to quiz our engineers who are always ready to answer questions.
