3 The Intelligent Information Network
Individual Products Technology Solutions Integrated Systems Business Solutions Intelligent Information Network (IIN) Cisco’s 3-5 year vision for the evolution of networking from connectivity to intelligent systems Goals: Accelerate integration of innovation into the network Embed intelligence to create a unified networking system

4 Intelligent Network Benefits
Secure infrastructure Self-defending network mitigates threats, both known and unknown Faster deployment of service and applications Integrated, modular systems and management reduce custom integration Granular policy controls couple network with business processes and services Reduced complexity and lower TCO New capabilities and technologies are simpler to integrate Integrated systems and management reduce OpEx and systems integration Acronyms: OpEx – Operational Expense TCO – Total Cost of Ownership

5 IIN Enables Breakthrough Productivity
BENEFIT Intelligent Information Network (+ Apps/Services and Processes) Breakthrough Productivity End-to-End Network Lower Total Cost of Ownership Return on Investment Key messages: Our strategy has evolved from best-of-breed to end-to-end to the Intelligent Information Network IIN enables exponential ROI compared to the product-focused (non-integrated approach) The IIN ROI curve is a result of our connectivity capabilities (core markets: routing & switching) “multiplied by” our advanced technologies. The result: the network is enabled as a strategic business asset Only get this kind of return if you adapt your processes around the network – not if you adapt the network to your processes Best-of-Breed Network Connectivity Time
