Agenda
• Cisco’s Enterprise Initiatives

• Campus Network Requirements
• Catalyst 5000 Family Update
• Catalyst 4000 Family Update
• Cisco Enterprise Solutions
1103
Cisco’s Key Enterprise Initiatives
• Multiservice networking through

data, voice, video integration
Gigabit networking in the campus
VPN in the WAN
• Application aware networking
• End-to-end services for the enterprise
1103
Today’s Network Needs
• Reliability
• Multiservice Deployment
Need: • Application Prioritization
• Management
• Security
• The introduction of greater and greater

bandwidth alone will not meet the critical
needs of today’s enterprise networks
