Deploying Cisco IWAN in the Real World with Verizon

Live webcast October 28, 2015, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time/1 p.m. Eastern Time

As cloud and mobile services continue to proliferate, IT organizations are increasingly challenged to deliver quality application performance to their branch offices. Moreover, those branches are no longer mere outposts. Increasingly, in today’s decentralized environment, they are locations where vital business is transacted, making responsive access to bandwidth-intensive applications mandatory.

However, with WAN budgets mostly flat, adding bandwidth is typically not an option. As a result, many IT organizations are actively considering hybrid WANs because they have the potential to provide the best of both worlds—improved application performance for branch users along with the low cost of inexpensive Internet transport links.

With Cisco Intelligent WAN (IWAN) technology, you can move to a hybrid WAN by deploying its advanced features such as Cisco Performance Routing (PfR) for Intelligent Path Control and quality of service (QoS). Now, let the experts from Verizon Managed Services show you how to streamline your adoption of these features based on their in-depth learning experiences.
