# 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco ConfidentialThe keys to advancing from a closed system to a real-time enterprise-grade system are Security (to allow safe exchange and transport of data between multiple companies/partners/vendorsScale (to handle the performance needs of mission-critical, real-time enterprise use cases)

The inter-step builds on Slide 2 can be written to reinforce whatever messages you to communicate. For Johns talk, it was about security and scale. For Angelas audiences, I would probably replace security with secure open sharing where secure authorization allows data to break out of proprietary silos, and replace scale with high performance, low latency at scale to reflect the importance of having middleware that can facilitate data transfer at enterprise-grade requirements.6

# 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco ConfidentialOur flexible developer platforms offer businesses a comprehensive set of tools to extend and embed cloud collaboration services, increasing team productivity and deepening customer engagement.This is delivered through a two-pronged approach:Cisco Spark Platform with an initial set of APIs to power app integrations and help developers automate and extend Cisco Spark capabilities Tropo Platform with communication APIs to embed voice and SMS services into business applications and processes

From a business transformation perspective, our platforms offer a comprehensive spectrum of experiences that businesses and partners can take advantage of to transform the way we work. Cisco Spark is a complete, business-class solution to message, have meetings, and call anyone, anywhere, anytime. With open APIs, developers can integrate, extend, and customize Spark experiences further. On the other end of the spectrum, Tropo APIs enable businesses to embed voice and SMS services to improve business processes and customer engagement. As these two platforms grow, they will ultimately provide businesses with a best of both worlds scenario: A leading collaboration platform to build on top of, and a growing set of simple, open, pay-as-you-go APIs to embed collaboration services deep inside of any business process.

This is a unique and differentiated offering in the market today, that our partners and customers can begin to take advantage of and help shape from the get-go. Together we will connect people, services, and business processes like never before.

SDN and the programmable networkData Center NetworkingEnterprise NetworkingNetworking, End to end automation from the data center, to the end-point devices, with security, automated by Cisco Software Defined Networking. These devices support Yang datastores as well as RESTCONF and NETCONF protocols. Wide Area RouterAccess PointsCompute ResourcesStorage NetworkingStorage ArraysNexus Switches and the Open NX-OSUCS Servers and the UCS XML APIMDS now has the NX-API & NX OSSwitch FabricControllersIoT DevicesASR, ISR, Access Points and IOS XE: REST APIs

Wide Area Connections & The InternetData Center Routing

# 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco ConfidentialTo give you a little idea of how robust our solution can be:

Our controllers can control both the Data Center equipment and the Enterprise Network Equipment.

APIC-EM can control ASR aggregation routers, Integrated Services Routers, which might be in branch offices, and even access points to which your IoT devices might be connecting.

We have open APIs into all of these devices using REST and and controllers themselves are open, so you can customize and automate, simply and effectively, from end to end.23

# 2016 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco ConfidentialIf we go a little deeper and think about this, the SDN controller can become the key element of network automation. And in this, we have three major controllers you can use.APIC is our controller that is optimized for the data center. APIC-EM is our controller that is optimized for Enterprise Networks. And, our OPEN SDN controller is designed to fit in with(need Bretts help here).

One of the key things that is important is that your network, and your controller deliver end-to-end connectivity as well as reliability and performance. With Cisco, you get the ability to work not only in the data center, but also you are able to control your customers quality of experience from end to end, implementing quality of service for things like voice calls in real time, from, as an example, a wireless access point all the way over the wide area network and back out to another endpoint!

Given the complexity of networks, you may find that building a Cisco Enterprise Network, and running Ciscos SDN, makes for a dramatically more effective solution than trying to piece together all of the different parts.especially when you realize that the Cisco APIC-EM SDN controller can talk directly to Ciscos Unified Communications Manager software enabling excellent control of voice and video calls in real time based on network traffic of the moment.24
