Team IP Fabric hit the Strip last week to enjoy the lights, sights, and of course, time with the horde of passionate technology professionals seeking out learning, connection, and a bit of fun at Cisco Live US 2023!
Our home in the World of Solutions showcased demonstrations of automated network assurance hosted conversations underscoring the value of IP Fabric to enterprise networks, and welcomed presentations from technology partners.
It's clear that network assurance is fast becoming central to the manageability of enterprise networks. With a palpable buzz around the possibilities that automation and AI/ML bring, it's key to acknowledge that a complete and accurate network baseline is step one in any of these pursuits. For more mature organizations, finding new uses for network data in operations, and the ability to query the network and get answers easily, rang through as a unique value add.
Read on for a recap of everything you may have missed, including our take on key announcements from Cisco.
Jordan Villareal and Jeremy Stretch from the Netbox Labs team joined us at the IP Fabric theatre. They demonstrated, along with Solution Architect Alex Gittings, the combined value of our integrated solutions.
Tim Shreyeck, a returnee to the IP Fabric spotlight, exemplified how to use Network to Code's source of truth and IP Fabric's automated assurance together for actionable network insights.
Rich Martin also took to our humble but mighty stage. He emphasized, once again, the powerful automation engine you can develop with fellow 2022 Gartner Cool Vendor in Network Automation Itential and IP Fabric.
Observability is something we've been thinking about a lot, so we were all ears when Cisco announced their Full Stack Observability platform.
A recent whitepaper - An Executive Blueprint for an Observability Platform - describes effective observability as "unifying, viewing, analyzing, and automating the entire end-to-end top-to-bottom digital infrastructure, encompassing core computing and cloud infrastructure, network, applications, security, and digital experience data to prevent downtime and negative impacts to customers." (IDC, May 2023).
In a network scope, our unified view of the network, automation focus, and open integration approach align with this vision of observability. IP Fabric could certainly offer the visibility and insights to effectively model the network underpinning an application and fit squarely into the network observability piece of Cisco's broader FSO project.
With our US presence rapidly expanding over the last year, Cisco Live was an opportunity for many of our EU and US-based team members to meet offline. Our international crew brings together perspectives from across the US and the world. We left Vegas with memories of real-life memes in action, and detours across half of Las Vegas for Thai food (involving questionable country music and a Google Maps mishap).
Our marketing team gained a new member, who we welcomed at Cisco Live! Abigail Jarin, who previously filled a Business Development Representative role, is our new US marketing specialist. Abby dove headfirst into the chaos with us! She embraced the opportunity to shake hands with IP Fabric customers and partners.
Reflecting on the week, Abby says: "I love getting that personal face time with people that are genuinely interested in our technology. Seeing eyes light up after mentioning the phrase “automated network documentation” is something I will never forget - that’s why I continue to do what I do here at IP Fabric."
