Summary
Big thanks to Cisco for sponsoring this video and sponsoring my trip to Cisco Live Amsterdam 2026. Join David as he sits down with Cisco's Dave West (SVP, Global Specialists), to unpack the technical reality behind the OneCisco platform. Dive deep into how Cisco is transitioning from traditional networking into a platform-centric powerhouse that seamlessly integrates secure networking, AI, and cybersecurity. This discussion explores the convergence of networking and security through the Splunk acquisition, the infrastructure of AI-ready data centers powered by NVIDIA's Spectrum X and NVLink, and the rollout of agentic operations. Discover how micro-segmentation, Zero Trust access, and hybrid cloud solutions are solving the complexities of modern, distributed workforces. Whether you are managing on-premise infrastructure, hybrid environments, or preparing your network for the AI revolution, this deep dive covers the essential reference architectures and visibility tools you need to secure your enterprise. // Dave West’s SOCIAL // LinkedIn: / dave-west1 // David's SOCIAL // Discord: discord.com/invite/usKSyzb Twitter: www.twitter.com/davidbombal Instagram: www.instagram.com/davidbombal LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/davidbombal Facebook: www.facebook.com/davidbombal.co TikTok: tiktok.com/@davidbombal YouTube: / @davidbombal Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/3f6k6gE...
