8 New Opportunities That Lie Ahead For Cisco Partners

Channel Partner Takeaways

The 28,000 people who attended Cisco Live in Las Vegas left cheering as the networking giant unveiled several new solutions and opportunities that should lead to more sales for channel partners.

"You're going to see us drive more innovation faster over the next several years than you've ever seen in the history of this company," CEO Chuck Robbins said in his keynote in front of around 12,000 people inside the Mandalay Bay Conversation Center last week.

Coming out of Cisco Live, channel partners have an increased ability to sell some of Cisco's most popular solutions, including its Unified Computing System (UCS) and Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI), as well as new opportunities in such markets as storage and service provision.
