On this episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast – Interview Series I am joined by Jeff Scheaffer, VP of Product Management and Strategy at Cisco. Jeff leads the group focused on networking across data centers, campuses, branches, and the wide area connections — a hot topic right now given the current global situation. Digitization of the network is really the underpinning of a lot that is going on in the changing business world. Developing this foundation for your organization has never been more important.    Our conversation covered several aspects of network transformation, AI in the network, and intent-based networking. Jeff also shared an executive's perspective on what is really going on in the enterprise. It was a fascinating conversation and one you don't want to miss.     Intent-Based Networking is Driving Change    My conversation with Jeff also revolved around the following:   How businesses and people shifted in 2020 and the various pieces of infrastructure that made it all possible.   The transition to digitizing the network in order to improve the application experience driven by the concept of intent-based networking.    The security challenges companies must overcome moving to a zero-trust environment.    Ways Cisco is taking intent-based networking to the next level in the coming years including how they are leveraging the automation of the digital environment.      The benefits for organizations who are able to turn to automation to manage their network environments.    How Cisco plans to drive value and innovation for customers in the future.    In my opinion, the intent-based networking and the changes that Jeff talked about will be a key component to driving digital transformation in the future.  If you are part of maintaining the network for your organization then this episode is one that needs to be on your 'must listen' list.   Disclaimer: This show is for information and entertainment purposes only.
