Cisco and Microsoft have partnered for well over a decade to help customers achieve their business objectives. At the heart of many business conversations today is the need for business agility, application performance at the edge, and secure connectivity across a hybrid cloud infrastructure. Cisco solutions are at the heart of these discussions, working with our mutual customers to find answers to their most pressing challenges.

This year at Microsoft Ignite 2021, we shared several ways Cisco is helping Microsoft customers deliver secure, high-performance applications in a hybrid cloud ecosystem. The full content line-up can be found at the Cisco at Microsoft Ignite page and includes:
