1. Cisco Knowledge Network (CKN) Webcast Schedule:
June 2014
Posted by Kellie Wong
June 2014, we will be holding a number of Service Provider related webcasts as part of
the Cisco Knowledge Network (CKN). Below is a schedule of our upcoming webcasts
and all the information you need to know to register.
Topic When Speaker Register Now
Innovations in Access Networks
Paving the Way to Service Agility
With bandwidth demands in access
networks increasing rapidly to support
video, mobile and cloud based services,
Service Providers are looking for solutions
that help to onboard customers at lower
cost and with greater scale than ever
before. During this Cisco Knowledge
Network webcast we will discuss several
innovations in the access part of Evolved
Programmable Network that enable
customers to improve service agility and
increase profitability.
 - Distributed, Scalable, Secure Solutions to
simplify operations
 - Enable automation and programmability in
Access Networks
 - Expand Cisco Access Portfolio to include

Controller is a unique management control
plane solution that provides centralized
management of virtual network services
designed to address virtualization
challenges at its core, and it has rapidly
become a primary component of Cisco’s
cloud management strategy.
Agenda
In this session you will learn:
 - How Prime Network Services Controller
works with Cisco InterCloud, enabling
private and public cloud connectivity
 - How it sits at the network services layer
and is an integral element of the Cisco
ONE strategy for network services
 - How it fits into Cisco’s larger cloud
management strategy with Cisco Intelligent
Automation for Cloud
Increasing the Value of the
Network with Programmability and
Analytics
Service providers are constantly looking for
ways to profitably innovate with their
networks, be it with new service offerings or
greater operating efficiencies. Identifying
areas for improvement and new
opportunities is challenging, which is why
Cisco has identified six common areas at
which all service providers should be
looking for savings and new opportunities.
In this live Cisco Knowledge Network
webcast, we will highlight each of these six
areas and provide actual customer case
studies showing how they are cutting
expenses and improving profitability.

3. Topic When Speaker Register Now
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a
protocol that has existed since 1995, and it
can be seen as one of the first technologies
to enable software-defined networking
(SDN) network infrastructure. Through
control plane activities, BGP allows the
management of services and resources
within and between network infrastructures.
Recent developments have made BGP an
even more service-aware technology,
supporting enhanced and innovative off-
path traffic manipulation to support
resource and service mobility, which in turn
will allow operators to optimize CapEx and
OpEx in a services-aware data network.
This webcast will provide insight into the
different areas where SDN-driven networks
can benefit from enhanced BGP capabilities
and design architectures to promote
mobility, virtualization, and resource and
service awareness.

Monetizing the Cloud with Cisco
Desktop-as-a-Service Solutions
This presentation looks at the opportunity
around cloud-based desktop-as-a-service
(DaaS) solutions and how Cisco can help
cloud providers plan, build, operate, and sell
differentiated cloud services across a world
of many clouds.
DaaS solutions provide scalable, cost-
effective, and secure cloud-based virtual
desktop subscription services. These
benefits are delivered "as a service" with no
initial capital investments and include self-
service access, on-demand provisioning,
and use-based pricing.
Cisco and its partner ecosystem can help
you accelerate deployment and increase
flexibility and operational efficiency with

improved business continuity while retaining
high security and control across any
deployment framework. With Cisco Desktop
Virtualization solutions, you can deliver on-
premises and cloud-based desktop
virtualization solutions without compromising
security or the user experience.
Satellite Service Providers:
Expanding Beyond Broadcast
Anytime, anywhere connectivity and a
virtually limitless offering of services with a
superb user experience are becoming the
norm for consumers globally. In response,
satellite providers are using varied means to
expand their offerings with services such as
video everywhere, advanced EPGs, and
interactive apps while continuing to bolster
their broadcast video services.
Agenda
In this session you will learn:
 - How satellite providers can monetize their
content, grow their customer base, and
increase subscriber loyalty by expanding
their service offering
 - What actions service providers have been
taking to introduce new services
 - How Cisco is supporting satellite providers
in their gradual transition from broadcast-
only to hybrid broadcast and broadband and
cloud environments
