Borderless Networks

BYOD – What a brilliant concept!!

A new generation of hyper-connected employees is entering the workforce. This new generation is multimedia-savvy and socially connected. Its members are conditioned for always-on, instant, anytime, anywhere connectivity using their own devices of choice.

However, IT must deal not only with new devices and usage models, but also with changing business practices that place huge new demands on the infrastructure, not to mention security.

So, is BYOD such a brilliant concept??

The research firm ABI Research estimates that by 2015 more than 7 billion new wireless devices will be connected to the network. A dramatic shift toward pervasive wired and wireless access is occurring, but many organizations still treat such networks as separate entities.

Cisco Borderless Networks enables IT to architect and deploy its systems and policies efficiently to provide secure, reliable, and seamless access to resources from multiple locations, from multiple devices, and to applications that can be located anywhere.
