Cisco Live 2026: What the WWT Networking Team Learned in Las Vegas

Each year, Cisco Live brings together tens of thousands of networking professionals for a week of announcements, deep-dive sessions, and the kind of candid conversations that only happen in person. This year in Las Vegas, WWT sent a team of networking subject matter experts covering wireless, switching, SD-WAN, core routing, optical networking, and data center networking. What they brought back was a consistent signal: AI is no longer a strategy conversation, it is an infrastructure conversation, and the network is squarely at the center of it.

Day-2 Operations: The Critical Data Center Network Component

While Day 0 planning and Day 1 deployment capture initial attention, Day 2 operations—ongoing monitoring, automation, compliance and optimization—account for up to 70 percent of total data center network costs. Without a proactive strategy, enterprises face rising expenses, outages and security risks. To reduce TCO and improve resilience, organizations are adopting AI-driven and automated platforms like Arista CloudVision and Cisco Nexus Dashboard to streamline Day 2 tasks. Investing in visibility, operational simplicity and intelligent automation is now essential for long-term success.

The Brownfield Reality: Why Juniper Is Gaining Momentum in Enterprise Data Center Networking

The reality in most enterprise data centers today is brownfield—not greenfield. Organizations are dealing with years of accumulated infrastructure, mixed vendor environments, operational complexity and limited staff, which is exactly why Juniper is gaining momentum in enterprise data center networking. Rather than forcing customers into a complete rip-and-replace approach, Juniper Apstra brings intent-based automation, continuous validation and multivendor support to existing environments, including Cisco, Arista and SONiC-based fabrics. That flexibility resonates with enterprises looking to modernize operations without disrupting production networks.
