Have you tried Cisco DNA Center?  We recently sat down with Cisco’s JP Vasseur, 20 year veteran of Cisco and the guy driving our Machine Learning & AI team to talk through what’s new in this episode of Cisco Champion Radio [<– Click on the magic link to hear!].  Cisco Champs…

If you’re headed to Cisco Live Barcelona and want to record a podcast, the Podcast Domain is back! What: The Podcast Domain is a space dedicated to the community of podcasters who attend Cisco Live. We created it a few years ago as way to give folks a quieter space to do recordings.  We’ve got high-…
