Green plan not ready

摘要

The networking giant rolled out a few virtualization-based software updates, some new CCNA certifications and a social networking site nothing really earth shattering. But in place of a blockbuster new product, Cisco gave the business world an interesting glimpse into its crystal ball and how the company says you'll be communicating in the very near future. Both keynote speeches - the first by CEO John Chambers, and the second by CTO Padmasree Warrior - focused on the idea of visual and social networking-based tools (such as Facebook, Twitter and Cisco's TelePresence) as the communication tools of choice over the next five years. During a live demonstration to kick off the conference, Chambers and Cisco demo guy Jim Grubb showed how video calls can be seamlessly transferred from the WebEx Connect's online platform to an Apple iPhone.
