Jamie G Price’s Post

In my previous post, I wrote about the paradigm shift that took place as part of which the Cloud became our new data center, bringing new challenges. We don't only troubleshoot and resolve the issues; we now collect evidence to escalate them to our providers. As we embrace the freedom of working from home, especially in the wake of the pandemic, IT teams supporting our distributed workforce encounter new challenges. Home isn't just where the heart is — it's our new office. IT teams don't only support their enterprise/corporate environments, which used to be challenging; now, they support many different (home) environments and obscure deployments/setups, ensuring that the workforce can effectively and professionally answer to what is expected of them. It's an entirely new game. If you want to find out how ThousandEyes can assist you in answering these new realities and make your work(life) easier, and you happen to be in Amsterdam at Cisco Live, you should join my session. https://lnkd.in/dvBs3dxD #cisco #thousandeyes #ciscolive #hybridwork #work #networking #amsterdam #clemea #workfromhome

Exciting updates from #CiscoLive! 🥁 💡 We launched 15 powerful new #Catalyst 9300-M switches - and the best bit is they can all be managed from Meraki's #cloudmanaged dashboard 💡 The new switch models provide 90W Cisco Universal Power Over Ethernet (UPOE+) options, which support more power-intensive devices, reduce infrastructure complexity, enhance network flexibility, and contribute to #energyefficiency 💡 Cisco Catalyst customers can also get visibility into their #wireless network traffic via the Meraki dashboard, simplifying infrastructure management These updates are game-changing because they allow to customers to leverage both Cisco's Catalyst hardware and Cisco Meraki's cloud-native dashboard. This synergy is not just a step forward, it's a giant leap that's redefining the landscape of network management, setting a new industry standard, and empowering organisations to thrive in the digital world! 🌍 Read more: https://lnkd.in/dT2k4ADi  Watch the keynote: https://lnkd.in/dqwJH8wA #cloudnetworking #simplifyeverything #scale #Catalyst9300 #networkvisibility #merakimagic #thousandeyes

Mindful of privacy, I've been using Signal since 2018. When it comes to personal communication, I believe that end-to-end (E2E) encryption is a must. 🕵♂️ When I learned that Webex offered E2E encrypted meetings, I was intrigued. I initially thought the cloud-delivered model only allowed for encryption in transit, implying that data would be decrypted on the server. Indeed, that is the default behavior of Webex. This enables the use of features such as Cloud recordings, Real-time captioning and translation, and all the new AI-based functionalities. However, any organization using Webex today can enable their users to schedule E2E encrypted meetings. In this case, a key shared only between meeting participants is used to encrypt voice, video, and content shared during the meeting. Your data remains confidential and is not decrypted in the cloud. 🔐 You can take it a step further in securing your data. If all the participants are connected to the corporate network, and you have a video mesh appliance deployed, you can opt for "Private meetings." This ensures that all the media streams of your meeting stay within your network, with nothing sent to the cloud. I didn't anticipate discovering so many capabilities, and exploring the solid security architecture of Webex was truly interesting. It now makes sense why it's the top choice for governments! 🏛️ If you want to learn more, here are some recommendations: - Cisco Live session BRKCOL-2876 by Nick Halbert-Lillyman: https://lnkd.in/eWpf6w7k - Zero-Trust Security for Webex whitepaper: https://lnkd.in/efdTmZe9 - Webex Security portal: https://lnkd.in/ebNyHYc4
