Cisco Live 2026: AI-Ready Enterprises Need Runtime Resilience, Not Just Faster Networks

Vol 339 · Issue 1 · 2026-06-05

My colleague, Sameh Boujelbene, has already covered one of the bigger Cisco Live takeaways: Cisco wants the AI discussion to move beyond the data center and into the broader enterprise network. I am not going to retell that story here. What interested me more, coming out of Cisco Live, were the security and operational implications of the same argument. In other words, what happens after the entire enterprise network is "AI-ready"?

Cisco Live 2026: Cisco's AI Strategy Moves Beyond the Data Center

Vol 339 · Issue 1 · 2026-06-03

At Cisco Live 2026, one message came through clearly: AI infrastructure is no longer just a data center conversation. The next phase of AI adoption will force enterprises to modernize across the full technology stack - from data center fabrics and campus networks to security, identity, observability, and edge operations.

Inside the SOC: AI-powered DNS defense against ransomware

Vol 338 · Issue 2 · 2026-05-14

In the modern security operations center (SOC), the biggest challenge isn't always a lack of data - it's the lack of meaning. Analysts are often drowning in telemetry, trying to distinguish the calculated movements of a threat actor trying to blend in with normal traffic from the noise of a global network.

Cisco's Quantum Switch Aims For Network Interoperability

Vol 337 · Issue 4 · 2026-04-24

Cisco has debuted the Universal Quantum Switch, a prototype quantum networking switch built to route quantum information between systems that encode data in different ways. This type of interoperability has so far been impractical because translating quantum information typically destroys the fragile quantum state.

Announcing Cisco Availability In Google Cloud Marketplace: A New Path To Scalable Partner-Led Growth

Vol 337 · Issue 4 · 2026-04-24

The way enterprise customers buy is changing. Procurement is increasingly consolidating around cloud marketplaces, not just as a convenience, but as a strategic mechanism to align technology adoption with pre-committed cloud spend. In this model, the question is no longer what to buy, but how to buy it efficiently within the frameworks customers already use.

The Hidden Bottleneck Slowing Down Manufacturing Transformation

Vol 337 · Issue 4 · 2026-04-23

You've identified the use cases. You've built the business case. You're ready to deploy AI on the shop floor-predictive maintenance, machine vision for real-time quality control, digital twins, autonomous robotics, virtual PLCs. And then the project stalls. It's not the technology that stops you. It's the network underneath it.

Energy Will Define The Scale Of AI

Vol 337 · Issue 4 · 2026-04-22

In France, Cisco is working with a major European bank to design a next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) data center. This new system is being built to reduce energy costs and shrink the bank's AI compute footprint. It combines high-density compute, immersive cooling, and advanced network automation to manage the growing demands of AI workloads.

30 Years As A CCIE: Why Certifications Matter In The AI Era

Vol 337 · Issue 4 · 2026-04-22

Only a handful of professionals have maintained their CCIE certification for three decades. Salman Asadullah is one of them-and after delivering 300 customer engagements through Netnology over the past eight years, including in today's AI-driven era, he says the certification is more relevant now than ever before.

Stop The DIY Gamble: Why Validated AI Infrastructure Wins

Vol 337 · Issue 1 · 2026-04-02

Building enterprise AI infrastructure isn't unlike building a high-performance computer. You can source every component yourself-handpicking the GPU, motherboard, cooling system, and OS-and hope it all works together. Or you can go with a pre-engineered version: tested, integrated, and ready to handle serious workloads right out of the box.

Beyond MTTR: Why The Future Of It Is Preventative, Not Reactive

Vol 337 · Issue 1 · 2026-04-01

For years, we measured success by how fast we could fix broken systems. Then we had an outage that changed everything. We realized we weren't measuring the right thing. The real win wasn't speed-it was prevention. By unifying our observability data, we can now stop problems forming before they hit our users.
