The workspace is changing. It is no longer about working just in our offices or even confined to the country in which we work.
Borderless Networks, a Cisco next-generation architecture for agile delivery of services and applications, delivers a new workspace experience, connecting anyone, anywhere, using any device, to any resource: securely, reliably, and seamlessly. The Cisco Borderless Networks architecture addresses primary IT and business challenges to help create a truly borderless experience by bringing interactions closer to the employee and customer.
Borderless experience is only possible with intelligent network elements designed to meet the needs of a global workspace with an increasingly mobile workforce. Cisco Borderless Access solutions are a primary component of this architecture, enabling various services such as mobility, security, medianet, and Cisco EnergyWise that simplify operations, increase productivity, and improve operational efficiency. When network access is intelligent and relevant, it knows the identity of the user, as well as where the user is on the network. It knows what is connecting to the network to automatically provision the network for optimal quality of service (QoS) and delivery. It becomes services-aware to optimize user experience. Only with an intelligent access network can your enterprise go borderless securely and smoothly. Your business can save energy, simplify operations with better business efficiency, and enjoy an optimized total cost of ownership.
