Cisco were delighted to be a sponsor at UKNOF30 and to meet the
delegates. We hope the Cisco presentations were interesting for you.
Thanks to Cisco’s Evolved Programmable Network we provide the basis
for innovative capabilities across the cloud to the core, the edge, and the
customer premises. The Evolved Programmable Network solutions are
part of the infrastructure layer consisting of physical and virtual devices
working together to form an end-to-end unified fabric for a programmable
network. Based on the Cisco Open Network Environment (ONE)
architecture for service providers, these solutions open the network to the
opportunities presented by software defined networking (SDN) and
Network Function Virtualization (NFV).
This enables service providers to transform the experience, transform the
business and transform the architecture with cloud-based capabilities.
Service providers with Cisco Evolved Programmable Network have more
options to increase revenue, decrease operating expenses and enhance
agility.
