Network performance issues don’t stop at the edge of your VMware Cloud Foundation environment. But most monitoring tools do. Our new guide shows how Broadcom’s Network Observability service eliminates blind spots across SaaS, public cloud, and remote networks, helping teams quickly isolate the true source of performance issues and reduce MTTI. See real customer use cases and learn how to validate and accelerate your VCF transformations. Explore the guide below.

The Broadcom-VMware acquisition left many IT leaders scrambling for alternatives. But what if you didn't have to choose between familiar operations and cloud innovation? AWS Elastic VMware Service (EVS) is delivering up to 46% cost savings while solving the most painful migration challenge: time. Unlike traditional cloud migrations that take months of planning and refactoring, EVS lets you: ✅ Lift and shift workloads in hours, not weeks ✅ Maintain full administrative control (root ESXi access) ✅ Keep existing VMware expertise and investments ✅ Gradually modernize at your own pace The sweet spot? Time-critical data centre exits. When lease renewals loom or infrastructure refresh cycles demand immediate attention, EVS provides the operational consistency your teams need with AWS innovation potential. But EVS isn't right for every scenario. In my latest deep-dive, I cover: 🔍 When EVS makes strategic sense (and when it doesn't) 🏗️ Implementation best practices that actually work 📊 Real cost comparisons and migration strategies ⚖️ How it stacks up against alternatives Are you facing data centre lease renewals or looking to reduce VMware licensing exposure? The migration timeline doesn't have to disrupt your business. Read the full analysis: https://lnkd.in/et5yjfKg #AWS #VMware #CloudMigration #DataCentre #HybridCloud #ITStrategy

Five signals your fiber network data is becoming a bottleneck. We put together a short reflection guide for fiber network teams. It covers the operational patterns that tend to show up when data stops scaling alongside the network. No scoring. No sales pitch. Just five things that are worth knowing about before they become harder to untangle. Download it here: https://hubs.ly/Q047ZlNW0

EOL notifications shouldn't feel like ambushes. Yet most partners learn about end-of-life hardware the same way their customers do: when Cisco sends the notice. By then, you're already behind. Smart partners know EOL dates 18-24 months early. They: -Build replacement roadmaps before urgency hits -Position upgrades strategically (not reactively) -Protect the margin by controlling the conversation -Avoid emergency migrations that kill profitability The difference: One partner discovers the EOL at 6 months and rushes to compete. The other saw it 18 months early, built the migration plan, and had the customer budgeted before urgency ever hit. Same refresh. Completely different margin. EOL planning separates consultative partners from product pushers. Which one are you? https://lnkd.in/guPP_vcR #EOL #CiscoLifecycle #PartnerStrategy

Thank you, Robin Olds, for a fantastic conversation on "Beyond the Fiber." It was a pleasure to discuss how we are re-architecting xHaul to move from simple connectivity to a deterministic, Unified Services AI Fabric for the LLM Era. Key Highlights from our Tech Talk: - Flexible End-to-End Transport: Cisco’s X-Haul technology delivers a flexible, end-to-end transport solution that seamlessly connects fronthaul, midhaul, and backhaul networks to support advanced 5G services and future-ready architectures. - SRv6 Foundation: SRv6 technology simplifies network architecture and enhances programmability, scalability, and observability, serving as the foundation for a programmable Unified Services AI Fabric for network slicing and AI integration. Calls to Action: - Join us at Mobile World Congress 2026: Come see our live demo of "Monetizing SP Infrastructure with AI Traffic Network Slicing and LLM-Aware Routing." See how Cisco's network slicing and LLM routing help SPs unlock new revenue from existing assets— --Secure AI Interconnect delivers guaranteed performance, resiliency, low latency, policy guardrails, and data sovereignty, enabling you to move from "bit pipe" to AI enabler. --Distributed AI Edge platforms host LLMs, SLMs, and domain-specific models for compliant, resilient inference - Joint Study Partnership: We are seeking partners for a joint study on AI inference traffic in live networks. If interested, please contact me at waris@cisco.com. In case you missed the session, you can catch the full recording here: https://lnkd.in/gZWeEhF7 (Password: 5nwEnsmT24m)
