Now, we may find ourselves needing different services and different pieces of
the actual infrastructure in different locations throughout our organization,
especially if we're an organization that has a bunch of different sites across
the world or just even here in Texas.
So if we go back and take a look at our map for a second, I know this is a very
water down version of a network map and just a basic idea.
But it could be that you're wanting to utilize Marockie at one site due to the WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
But it could be that you're wanting to utilize Marockie at one site due to the
different appliances that you're on implement, whereas in another site, you're
just wanting to use Nexus 9000 series switches.
These are some examples that I provided in the text above to show how Cisco
could be used as infrastructure as a service.
And by using the actual hardware and platform environment that the provider has
for us, we can implement these different resources at these different sites
based on the needs of our organization.
And we can get a firsthand view of this inside of our DevNet sandbox. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And we can get a firsthand view of this inside of our DevNet sandbox.
If on the far left you look at actual the self service tab, let me make sure
you can see that there real quick.
Yep, click on self service. We can go back and take a look at the different
options that were provided inside of our DevNet sandbox mode.
Right now we're in the catalyst center sandbox right there where we have Cisco
DNA center and we have an eye server in there.
And we may say we want that site one because we have more clients, we have more WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And we may say we want that site one because we have more clients, we have more
resources, we have more physical equipment at that site than we do at other
places, whereas we have another site that only has, let's say, 10 employees,
and we want to use Marockie out there for whatever reason.
And we could just, if I could spell correctly, we can actually go through and
type in Marockie. There we go. And we can actually see that Marockie is
available to us.
Now you can only inside of DevNet launch one environment at a time. And so when WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
Now you can only inside of DevNet launch one environment at a time. And so when
you do that, you can go in here and get a quick overview of what it provides.
It's an Internet managed solution for those that don't know what Marockie is
that we can actually go through and generate cloud managed solutions like
mobile device management, make sure 8021x is implemented at the different sites
that we needed implemented at.
And it may be that we have one site like we talked about just a second ago that WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
And it may be that we have one site like we talked about just a second ago that
has physically managed hardware on site that's tied into our infrastructure
environment, but here at this site that we're want to implement Marockie, we
have less of an office space.
For instance, we may be written a one particular office or we could be doing a
work from home infrastructure to require all the users to log in to the VPN and
to fire up a virtual operating system to be able to use their desktop because
we don't necessarily want them using their own operating system or environment WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
we don't necessarily want them using their own operating system or environment
may not be as protected as we wanted to be.
And that's where infrastructure is a service, especially inside of Cisco comes
into very handy applications because we can say, be bring your own device
inside of our overall organization environment and control every aspect of what
we need to control as far as security is concerned.
See, by utilizing the VPN access and proper SSL TLS encryption for data in WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
See, by utilizing the VPN access and proper SSL TLS encryption for data in
motion, we can make sure that even if the user that's within our organization
is using a mobile device to access those different organizational resources,
they're going to VPN in utilize a virtual operating system and conduct business
within and virtualized infrastructure that
basically would be for all intents and purposes be physical in the office WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
basically would be for all intents and purposes be physical in the office
except it's on their own device. It allows us to be able to save money on
different things like actual computers, different phones, different networking
equipment and we can make sure that it's controlled enough to where it's not
introducing different security flaws into our network.
If we had to let's say set up an office with different pieces of equipment that
ingress egress point for that particular organization is controlled by the ISP. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
ingress egress point for that particular organization is controlled by the ISP.
Now, yes, this is still the same as far as ISP control for basic network
connectivity, but we would have to implement let's say IP sec for proper tunnel
ing between site A and site B into the overall cloud infrastructure.
Of however, we wanted to use software platform or infrastructure as a service,
but by going through and making sure that we utilize the full benefits of
infrastructure as a service inside the Cisco world, we can make sure that
things as simplistic as VoIP or as complex as Maraki and using different WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
things as simplistic as VoIP or as complex as Maraki and using different
protocols within the API for different configuration points is controlled by us
, the actual organization and
utilized in different security aspects like corporate policy, whether we want
to do an administrative control or a technical control technical control
implementation.
It's just different ways to be able to make a physical office environment as WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000
It's just different ways to be able to make a physical office environment as
virtual as possible.
