Streaming video over wireless has never been possible due to the challenges that Wi-Fi introduces. Variable data rates, packet loss, multicast reliability issues, you name it. Traditional Quality of Service just did not apply. Notice that was in the past tense. All of this now changes with the release of Cisco VideoStream.
Jagadeesh Narayanaswamy (say that name 10 times fast!) joined us on set for one of our recent episodes…he was in that ranking of guests we love the most…the ones that drag out a bunch of equipment!
The vBlock is a pre-architected and pre-qualified environment for virtualization at scale: storage, fabric, compute, hypervisor, management and security. The VCE (Virtual Computing Environment) coalition, (or Vmware/Cisco/EMC) some might point out is being heralded as the latest ‘accelerator’ to Private Clouds. If you are looking to get a more hands-on look at what can be done -- this is the right place.
Cisco has been using the term ‘mobility’ to provide a more accurate description of a range of products, technologies and capabilities we can enable…I don’t always feel like this term is widely understood as the primary reference to wireless capabilities. Keeping up with changes at Cisco and trying to determine the difference between new technology and new terminology can’t be easy.
The always well-spoken Chris Kozup gave us some great reviews on the mobility front on a couple of recent episodes. This first one, “Self-Healing Wireless”, originally aired as part of TechWiseTV Episode 57.
Our podcast channel has been consistently rolling out these sneak peak excerpts from recent shows…I have been behind in embedding them here. If you are following our podcast channel however…you are probably OK. Although I will note that as large as these HD files are getting…watching as embedded here might give you better resolution!
