Cisco Networking Cloud

Cisco announced its vision for the Cisco Networking Cloud: to simplify network management via a single platform experience for seamlessly managing all networking domains.

New innovations include single sign-on, API key exchange/repository, sustainable data center networking solutions and expanded network assurance with Cisco Thousand Eyes.

Cisco says Networking Cloud will “dramatically simplify IT” with a more flexible Cisco Catalyst switch stack, improved visibility into data center power and energy consumption and new AI data center blueprints to improve performance and visibility for network operations.

Security enhancements

Cisco announced several new security tools and enhancements, including a new security service edge solution for hybrid work security, generative AI capabilities and innovations across firewall, multicloud and application security.

The company during its Cisco Live event announced its first generative AI capabilities in the Security Cloud, including an AI-powered Policy Assistant designed to help security and IT administrators describe granular security policies and evaluate how best to implement them across different aspects of their security infrastructure. It will be available later this year.

Cisco also announced a new SOC Assistant, available by the end of the year, to help support SOC analysts and detect and respond to threats faster by contextualizing events across email, web, endpoints and the network to tell the analyst what happened and the impact.

In addition, Cisco announced the Cisco Firewall 4200 Series, featuring AI and ML-based encrypted threat blocking without decryption, complete threat inspection and policy for each individual application and simplified branch routing. Cisco Secure Firewall 4200 Series appliance will be generally available in September 2023 supporting the 7.4 version of the operating system. The 7.4 OS will be generally available for the rest of the Secure Firewall appliance family in December 2023.

Cisco also announced new capabilities in Panoptica, the company’s cloud-native application security solution including Cloud Security Posture Management, a new attack path engine and an integration with Cisco’s Full Stack Observability portfolio.

Full-Stack Observability

The company also used its Cisco Live event to announce the general availability of its Full-Stack Observability (FSO) platform to give customers the ability to develop and grow an application ecosystem built on an open, extensible architecture, including new use cases in a single consumption model. Additionally, Cisco’s new bi-directional integration between AppDynamics and ThousandEyes drives powerful customer digital experience monitoring and closes observability gaps with rapid actionable recommendations and insights, the company says.

Room Bar Pro

Also at Cisco Live, Cisco announced the Room Bar Pro, a new easy-to-deploy video bar with “significant processing power, more connections, touch screen integration, and all of the advanced AI capabilities built into (Cisco’s) RoomOS platform.”

Cisco says the Room Bar Pro, based on the powerful NVIDIA processor, is optimized for medium workspaces (5-12 seats) of varying shapes. The device also features a dual camera system that reaches further, wider, and frames everyone in the room in ultra-high quality, even when participants are sitting at the ends of the table.

According to Gartner, SASE includes SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, NGFW and enables zero trust access based on the identity of the device or entity, combined with real-time context and security compliance policies.

What is driving SASE adoption?

Organizations are struggling with complex IT infrastructure that has largely been driven by a massive increase in cloud adoption coupled with on-prem, legacy infrastructure in response to the pandemic and general market trends, according to Omri Guelfand, vice president of product management and SASE/networking as a service at Cisco Meraki.

While this trend began in the “early days” of cloud adoption with applications and assets moving out of the data center into private clouds, public clouds and co-located options, the pandemic greatly accelerated that shift. That pandemic-induced cloud migration was so rapid–essentially overnight–that organizations were forced to accelerate their cloud strategy by several years.

The result is an IT environment in which applications, resources, users, contractors and other entities are anywhere and everywhere, which makes managing and securing an organization’s network endlessly complex.

Essentially, SASE is designed to bring all of that together by delivering on one core underlying requirement: securely connecting users to applications–both of which could be anywhere. SASE is designed to make managing a network easier and more cohesive, which is essential as networking without security is becoming impossible, and the merging of networking and security is a foregone conclusion.

Different approaches to SASE

As organizations got to work to solve some of these networking and security challenges over the last few years, a variety of different approaches to solving some of these issues have emerged.

According to Guelfand, separate networking and security teams have started to solve all of these pieces to create better coverage of all the functions of a SASE architecture by deploying different solutions from a variety of different vendors, which he calls the “best of breed” approach.

“Gradually, you’ll create better coverage of all the functions,” Guelfand says.

On the other end of the spectrum is a one-stop shop for organizations that are less focused on how to get a complete SASE architecture. In this case, organizations typically work with one vendor or a managed service provider (MSP) to put all of those pieces together.

For an analogy, Guelfand uses food. For example, if someone wants to source the best ingredients for a pasta dish, they visit a specialty food store for past and sauce, a farmstand for fresh vegetables, and then a butcher for their protein.

Or, the person can just put their trust in a restaurant.

“A unified SASE is more of this ready-made dish where you’re benefitting from a quick-to-value to get the outcome you want and you don’t have to go through a lot of extra work, versus the other approach that gives you much more flexibility and control, but it comes with more things you have to do,” Guelfand says.

Benefits of the unified SASE approach

In the unified SASE approach, the name of the game is reduced complexity that starts with procurement of the solution. In the unified, single-source approach, SASE is a product rather than a combination of multiple point products, thus simplifying the consumption of the technology.

“This is where you have a more streamlined, consistent operational model whether you’re in a network context or security context,” Guelfand says. “At the end of the day, these are all policies that could be connectivity or security policies.”

The unified SASE approach blurs the lines between networking and security and brings those elements together into a consistent operational model that not only creates a better admin and user experience, but also makes solving incidents and issues easier.

Instead of the networking or security teams blaming each other and playing the blame game, the unified SASE approach gives “one throat to choke,” Guelfand says.

Especially for smaller organizations with a limited IT staff, a complete SASE solution from one vendor or service provider will help take that burden off of their hands.

Benefits of the best-of-breed SASE approach

However convenient the unified SASE approach may be, the reality is that most organizations are not yet ready to fully consume a unified offering, as many organizations are still operating with separate security and networking teams with different vendor preferences.

Organizations are also balancing their level of control and flexibility versus simplicity, with larger organizations typically opting to deploy point solutions to drive their SASE strategy. Those organizations will generally have a larger IT staff and a better IT staff-to-employee ratio, affording the organization more flexibility and more options.

Merging of networking and security teams

However, Guelfand says even those larger organizations with the typical silos are going down the consolidation path as networking and security teams begin to merge.

Typically, smaller organizations that were “born in the cloud” don’t have the legacy separation of networking and security functions, instead employing a type of digital IT that covers the full spectrum of activities.

Even at larger organizations with those legacy silos, there is consolidation at the executive level, and many of those larger security teams are actively driving SASE initiatives because the network has already started the transformation.

“Now it’s really around catching up with security and making sure that security can really be enabled to support this highly distributed environment in a way that solves the operational challenges of just managing point firewalls and policies that are scattered in different directions,” Guelfand says.

Key considerations when adopting and implementing SASE

• Evaluate different SASE solutions. Look at single-vendor solutions, multi-vendor point products, and managed offerings. Gartner recommends cutting complexity and cost by consolidating vendors at contact renewals, but acknowledges that there are still three legitimate ways to implementing SASE:
  • A single-vendor approach
  • A multi-vendor approach
  • A managed SASE approach
• Evaluate scalability and flexibility. SASE solutions that can scale both up and down to meet the needs of an organization is important.
• Leverage existing investments. Rather than a rip-and-replace strategy, organizations should leverage and integrate their existing capabilities and solutions to protect those investments.
• How do the vendors, partners or service providers help guide customers on their SASE journey?
• Any SASE solution should be based on robust security research and insights to protect against emerging threats. This is especially important when deploying a unified solution, which is essentially putting the organization’s complete trust in one vendor.
• How is the SASE platform extensible to other technologies beyond secure network access.

According to SideChannel, Enclave enables IT personnel to easily segment their company’s network, quickly organize individuals and machines to each individual’s workload level, then implement security controls across all segments. The platform sets the foundation for a Zero Trust network security model while shrinking the attack surface area exposed to intruders. The company says Enclave empowers IT to contain breaches faster, decrease outages, reduce latency, and strengthen the organizations’ overall security defense.

The Enclave platform was developed internally by SideChannel and its team of former chief security information officers (CISO). SideChannel says the Enclave platform was strategically designed and purposefully built to serve the growing security needs of SMBs, a traditionally underserved market that is more prone to cyberattacks but limited by smaller budgets, inadequate IT security staffing and lack of cybersecurity awareness among top executives,

“Small and mid-market companies are incredibly challenged by a lack of cost-effective means to comfortably and securely handle network management,” said one of the lead developers behind Enclave, SideChannel’s executive vice president David Chasteen, former CISO of GoFundMe and the San Francisco Police Department. “These companies want to focus on their business and their customers; not worry about who is accessing what server, or if the encryption installed is sufficient. We built Enclave to provide these companies an affordable and effective segmentation solution that significantly reduces the amount of effort required, through a simple and intuitive interface.”

Unlike enterprises and large-scale businesses, SMBs often lack the IT security staff and resources needed to effectively implement a Zero Trust security framework and microsegmentation to protect the organization’s data and assets. Meanwhile, reports show cyberattacks on SMBs have increased in recent years as organizations’ network attack surface has grown exponentially with remote and in-office workers increasingly relying on cloud environments, mobile devices, software applications, and third-party suppliers to conduct business.

Enclave’s introduction to the market represents SideChannel’s first product release, expanding upon its cybersecurity services in providing middle market companies with highly experienced virtual CISOs at a potentially lower cost than hiring a full-time CISO or building an in-house information security team.

Launched in 2017, SideChannel has continued to expand its service offering, workforce, and customer base. To date, the company has attracted over 20 vCISOs to serve more than 50 clients across industries, including fintech, biotech, healthcare, manufacturing, legal, defense and technology services.

“We are thrilled to add the Enclave product and its powerful capabilities to SideChannel’s diverse vCISO delivery platform as we continue to expand our capabilities in the middle market,” said SideChannel Chief Executive Officer and Founder Brian Haugli, in a statement “We believe every company, regardless of size, deserves the highest level of cybersecurity services and best-in-class technology solutions with terms and options designed specifically to meet their needs in a manner that works for their budgets.”

Chief among the announcements were the company’s improvements to its networking and security offerings, including new cloud management capabilities that provide a unified experience across the company’s Meraki, Catalyst and Nexus portfolios.

According to Cisco, Cloud Management for Cisco Catalyst allows customers to monitor select Catalyst switches and manage new Catalyst Wireless devices through the Meraki dashboard, giving IT pros increased visibility and offering organizations more flexibility. This is designed to help IT simplify operations by combining cloud management and networking hardware.

The unified experience announced at Cisco Live also includes the Cisco Nexus Cloud, a new cloud-managed platform delivered as-a-service that helps simplify deployment, management and operation of cloud networking. Cisco says Nexus Cloud—available in the fall—is powered by Cisco Intersight for best-in-class switching and multicloud management, helping customers manage across public and private cloud and edge computing environments of any size or scale.

The new vision also includes a new Cisco ThousandEyes product, ThousandEyes WAN Insights, that the company says is designed to proactively forecast and optimize WAN Performance. Calling the offering the first step on delivering on its Predictive Networks vision, Cisco says the product proactive alerts IT teams to issues before they happen and impact user experience, offering policy recommendations and path optimization guidance.

The new products announced during Cisco Live come after the company during the RSA Conference announced a unified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution, Cisco+ Secure Connect Now, an as-a-service, cloud-managed solution designed to simplify how organizations connect and protect their IT assets and users.

For cloud-native observability of modern applications built on complex, distributed architectures, Cisco announced the launch of AppDynamics Cloud to help IT remediate application performance issues with business context and insights-drive actions from across the entire IT stack.

Cisco says the solution accelerates detection and resolution of performance issues with intelligence operations and helps protect IT investments with data integrations with OpenTelemetry standards and technology partnerships with cloud solutions and providers.

Current AppDynamics customers can upgrade to AppDynamics Cloud and leverage their existing application performance monitoring agents, or feed both solutions concurrently, Cisco says.

When commercially available starting June 28, AppDynamics Cloud will support cloud-native managed Kubernetes environments on AWS, with future expansion to Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform and other cloud providers.

Cisco also used its Cisco Live conference to highlight its recently released advancements to Webex Calling, as well as new hardware to support hybrid workers.

On the second day of Cisco Live, the company launched Panoptica and Calisti, the latest additions to Cisco’s suite of cloud-native, API-first solutions for faster application development cycles. Cisco says the cloud-native, API-first solutions provide businesses with modern application connectivity, security, and observability that is critical for digital experiences. Both Panoptica and Calisti are available for free.

Cisco also announced it has teamed up with musician Pharell Williams’ non-profit YELLOW to provide technology centered around connectivity, collaboration and security at Williams’ school, YELLOWHAB.

The Norfolk, Va.-based micro-school gives students an immersive learning experience based on skill, not age. The school will utilize Cisco technology, such as the WebEx Suite, Secure X, WiFi-6, Meraki, data centers and SNA Spaces. In turn, the technology will help build a networking foundation to provide an inclusive and hybrid learning environment.

In a Move to Mobile, Cisco is making it easier to transition from desktop to iPhone. You can now take your Webex meeting in your car with Apple CarPlay, in audio-mode only, of course. In August, Cisco will be extending the CarPlay integration to include listening to past Webex recordings.

The telecommunications giant says it will integrate the 5G LAN technology from Celona to its On-Site 5G portfolio, using CBRS spectrum for enterprise deployments, benefitting small medium and enterprise businesses that need to quickly deploy private networks built on cloud-first infrastructure.

The company says the offering will also help businesses expedite private 5G applications to market and streamline costs and mitigate operational challenges, as well as simplify the customer experience.

According to Verizon, the strategic partnership will leverage its On Site LTE and 5G network with Celona’s “critically acclaimed” 5G Lan products to deliver an enterprise-friendly approach to private networks and meet growing demand for reliable performance, coverage and connectivity for network-dependent applications and IoT systems.

Verizon also bills the offering as a cost barrier-lowering solution for developers.

Essentially, this allows customers of Verizon’s On Site LTE and 5G cellular networks to use a Celona LAN to deploy the private core on-premise, or on any private or public cloud.

In a press release, Verizon says the combination of its On Site service with Celona’s LAN technology brings lower latency and deterministic cellular wireless connection within an IT-friendly framework that can be easily integrated into existing enterprise IT and industrial IoT infrastructures.

The institute stated that it wanted to enhance instruction and enable students attending from home to have an equal and seamless experience in the culinary classrooms.

Thus, it brought in E.R.I.C. Low Voltage Services (LVS) to design and program the installation. It also employed Consolidated Networks Corp. (CNC) to integrate the NAV Pro AVoIP system and the processor from the AV manufacturer.

Installing the New System to the Classroom

The culinary classroom includes six full commercial kitchens. Previously, the students gathered around the outside of the kitchen to watch the chef prepare and plate the dishes. However, visibility became an issue.

With that in mind, a rudimentary AV system was set up. The video was sourced from a GoPro camera that the chef wore around his neck or on his toque hat. While this improved visibility, the camera was cumbersome and the single point of view had limited value.

Later, a closed-circuit TV system was installed, with RG 59 to BNC connectors going from PTZ cameras directly to receivers installed behind the 55-inch wall-mounted displays. The next step was a network solution with streaming capabilities.

This is where the Extron NAV Pro AVoIP system came into the picture. According to the company, it ties three broadcast-quality 4K HDMI PTZ cameras to the existing displays as well as provides content to the streaming system. Additionally, an Extron NAV E 101 encoder was mounted with each camera. The encoder helps share video from the chef’s grill/range station and the two food preparation stations.

The cameras are placed on either side of the grill vent hood while the third is above the gas range. The chef’s PC is installed on a shelf beneath one of the prep tables. It is connected to an Extron NAV E 201 D wallplate HDMI encoder. The five transmitters stream AV signals over the 1 Gbps Ethernet network.

Additionally, an Extron MediaPort 200 HDMI and Audio to USB Scaling Bridge converts USB to HDMI. This supports the PC’s USB signals. The bridge also enhances the computer-sourced content for remote students.

An Extron NAV SD 101 scaling decoder mounted behind each display scales the video to the device’s native resolution. The decoder includes the PURE3 codec, which leverages periods of low motion to stream high quality video at efficient bitrates. A serial control port on the NAV decoder passes control signals from the Extron control processor to the display. The NAV encoders and decoders are powered over Ethernet alongside the AV signals. Use of PoE+ streamlined installation and freed outlets for the many kitchen appliances.

Setting up the Control Panel

To control the AV system, the chef uses an Extron TLP Pro 1225TG 12-inch Tabletop TouchLink Pro Touchpanel installed next to the PC. Its quad-core processor ensures quick page loads. This allows the system to keep up with the chef. Installed under the prep table, the panel is within reach of the chef. Furthermore, it is protected from splashes and direct heat.

The touchpanel is paired with the Extron IPCP Pro 255 IP Link Pro control processor, which includes the LinkLicense for User Interfaces upgrade. The control processor automatically distributes IP addresses and network configuration parameters for the PC, camera system, and other AV sources connected over the school network. LinkLicense provides a means for the control GUI to be run on wireless devices.

The system programmer used Extron’s Global Configurator Professional software to create six presets that provide advance selection of camera angles and playback of supplemental lesson content.

The system also includes a NAVigator System Manager. This helps the NAV system operate as a flexible network matrix switching solution. NAVigator is integrated directly with the control processor. The integration isolates the signals from the rest of the school’s network traffic. This ensures high performance system operation without interference or switching delays.

The system components are rack-mounted in an equipment room located down the hall.

Enhancing Sound Clarity with Extron Audio Products

Audio is picked up by the Shure BLX wireless microphone system and the lavalier worn by the chef. It is designed by zone. For instance, the chef’s kitchen and each student kitchen is a separate zone. Signals are then fed into an Extron DMP 64 Plus C V AT 6×4 digital audio matrix processor that includes AEC, VOIP, and Dante.

Two of the processor’s four line outputs support the videoconferencing and ALS systems. A third output enables connection of the MediaPort scaling bridge. The bridge provides an AEC reference point for the videoconferencing system, ensuring verbal clarity at remote locations.

Within the classroom, an Extron NetPA U 1004 power amplifier with Dante and DSP 100 watts per channel drives a 70 V distributed audio system. Consisting of twelve Extron SF26CT SoundField ceiling speakers, the system provides clear audio throughout the classroom. It also allows students to hear over the clatter of pots, pans, and chopping blades. Being convection cooled, it can also withstand the fluctuating temperatures. Like the DMP64 Plus processor, the audio amplifier receives signals from the network switch over Dante.

Integrating the SMP 111 Streaming Processor

Three years ago, CNC upgraded the school to a CAT 6 cable infrastructure that provided a 40 Gbps backbone with at least a 10 Gbps uplink between the switches.

Currently, the system maintains 40 Gbps with up to 100 Gbps in some spots of the switching architecture. This gave the school the bandwidth needed to support streaming.

The Extron SMP 111 streaming media processor captures and distributes the camera feeds and other resources for selectable live streaming. The content can be streamed to offices, classrooms as well as the remote students. The SMP 111 also provides simultaneous recording of the HDMI video and audio. These recordings include extensive metadata. Some of the metadata includes date and time stamps, chef’s name, recipe title, and cooking techniques.

Results of the Extron NAV Pro AVoIP System Upgrade

From concept to commissioning, the entire project was completed in two weeks.

CNC credits this in part to Extron’s products and the support engineers. The administration expressed its pleasure on the success of the Extron NAV Pro AVoIP system upgrade in the culinary classroom.

At the chef’s request, a fourth PTZ camera is now being mounted to the front of the vent hood. This will allow each student to see a hands-on view of the chef at work. According to the programmer, adding to a NAV system using GC Pro only requires very little time.

“In my experience of programming products from a wide variety of AV manufacturers, NAV is by far the easiest system to configure and program, and Extron support is top notch,” says Eric Marshall of E.R.I.C. LVS.

Brian Baesler, program manager at CNC, concludes, “[The] integration of Extron’s NAV Pro AV over IP system and the SMP 111 streaming processor lets the students at home be on the same page as those in the classroom, making this AV system just what the chef ordered.”
