There’s been a lot of talk about the new service offerings Cisco recently announced and Robb and I are here to help you separate the signal from the noise. Robb gets the high level overview with Bryan Palma, SVP of Advanced Services, as well as Joe Pinto, SVP of Technical Services. And I deep…

Here I am again at another Cisco Live! I’m pretty excited about this one, because I’m not hosting anything…I’m really just here to learn and spread some of that information to everyone else. If you’re interested in what Ruba Borno had to say, which technologies she made…

It’s a long blog title, but there’s a lot of information packed into this show! We pulled it off, our second ever live TechWiseTV show and we’re back in the data center talking about all the new announcements surrounding Cisco Intersight and ACI 3.0. This show is packed with guests…

You know them, you love them…Cisco UCS just released their brand new fifth generation servers. Well, I shouldn’t even call them servers, it’s really an entire system when we’re talking about UCS. We at TechWise can’t get enough of them. We had experts Arvie Martin and J…

Because of the nature of SDN, and specifically the automation available with Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure, ACI works really well with cloud orchestration tools such as OpenStack. I was able to be at the OpenStack Summit in Tokyo last week and gave a vBrownBag TechTalk about why C…
