Cisco Live was last week and the opening keynote was dripping with AI. Cisco's product lineup for the rest of the year and into the future is going to embrace AI agents and information for networking operations and security as well. CEO Chuck Robbins and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel talked all about the integration of AI into their offerings. From dashboards to NVIDIA networking technology Cisco is pushing AI into the infrastructure. One of the big discussions was around AgenticOps, the Cisco term for agent-based network operations. They also discussed how they would help build the AI data centers for the future with pod-based architectures and more.
