And finally, we encourage you to take a tour of the Network Operations Center (NOC) at Cisco Live and request a focus on “Cloud and Systems Management” technologies. It’s an educational and insightful tour that will show some of our data center management and automation software in action. Cisco Process Orchestrator and other Cisco products power this massive NOC for the event (as seen at Cisco Live Orlando last year).
So, get ready to add these activities to your calendar and maximize your time at Cisco Live in San Francisco!
