Cisco sets new era of business mobility in motion
For more log on to : http://investorline.co.in/blogs/news/

Cisco on Thursday announced an evolved architecture that helps
empower businesses to meet and

exceed mobility demands and move beyond basic wireless networking into
the next generation of

business mobility =96 transforming the way business is done by fostering
broader collaboration and

new levels of productivity. This announcement is part of Cisco Motion
=96 Cisco=92s innovative vision

for business mobility that delivers practical solutions to integrate
mobile devices,

applications, security and disparate networks into a unified platform.

The cornerstone of the Cisco Motion vision is the Cisco 3300 Series
Mobility Services Engine

(MSE). This appliance-based platform offers an open application
programming interface (API) for

consolidating and supporting an array of mobility services across
wireless and wired networks.

Cisco is releasing four initial software offerings for the MSE: Cisco
Context-Aware Software,

Cisco Adaptive Wireless Intrusion Prevention System (wIPS), Cisco
Secure Client Manager and Cisco

Mobile Intelligent Roaming. The Cisco MSE and its software integrate
with the Cisco Unified

Wireless Network portfolio, Cisco Unified Communications Manager and
Cisco-compatible devices to

expand the reach and value of an enterprise=92s mobility system.

Numerous application and solution partners have integrated or plan to
integrate with the MSE.

This partner ecosystem includes Nokia and Oracle, technology partners
like AeroScout, Agito

Networks and Airetrak, as well as industry-specific application
partners like IntelliDOT and

Johnson Controls (healthcare) and OATSystems (manufacturing).

=93On Thursday=92s business mobility challenges cannot be solved using
only traditional wireless LAN

solutions when multiple network elements are converging and need to
collaborate. Cisco=92s Motion

approach is a true services-oriented network architecture that creates
a mobility network as a

platform for integrating key business strategies, processes and
goals,=94 said Brett Galloway,

senior vice president of Cisco=92s Wireless and Security Technology
Group. =93To meet and exceed

business mobility expectations, IT must secure and manage a range of
devices, integrate multiple

networks, enable applications, access information with a high level of
security, and help ensure

a consistent experience regardless of network connection or location.=94

Information Technology (IT) departments must increasingly manage
disparate networks (Wi-Fi,

cellular, passive RFID, personal wireless, sensors, Ethernet), to
handle a rising number of

devices and more applications. The Cisco Motion approach includes the
industry=92s first mobility

architecture that addresses these challenges in the following ways:

-- Unifying networks: Extending applications to devices regardless of
the connection

-- Managing the client device wave: Securing devices, centralizing
client provisioning

-- Facilitating collaboration: Selecting the right media at the right
time and right place

-- Opening up development: Open API supports integrated applications
and services

=93Cisco=92s mobility vision mirrors Oracle's approach to application
development, which focuses on

efficiently connecting users to the information they need to make
better business decisions,=94

said Jon Chorley, vice president of product strategy at Oracle.
=93Integrating Oracle's enterprise

applications with Cisco=92s open mobility platform creates tremendous
value for our customers.=94

The Cisco MSE=92s initial service offerings include the following
software components:

Cisco Context-Aware Software captures contextual information from a
full range of sensors, mobile

devices and RFID tags over the Cisco Unified Wireless Network,
allowing businesses to move beyond

basic location tracking and gather detailed information about assets
like location, temperature,

availability, and the application used. Information is channeled into
applications, increasing

asset-management intelligence. Context-Aware Software supports
enhanced received signal strength

indication (RSSI) and time difference of arrival (TDOA), improving
location accuracy and

performance indoors, outdoors and in challenging RF environments.

Flextronics, a valued Cisco partner and global leading Electronics
Manufacturing Services (EMS)

provider for Cisco and OEMs, is looking to the Cisco Context-Aware
Mobility solution to track

Cisco=92s capital assets as a service at its global manufacturing sites.
In Austin, Texas, the

company tracks high-value assets like thermal chambers and testing
equipment used to manufacture

products, enabling it to account for Cisco capital equipment and
easily locate it in real-time.

=93We need to locate customers=92 assets immediately throughout our large
facility in real time and

conduct regular inventory checks, regardless of location in the
manufacturing process.

Flextronics=92 adoption of Cisco=92s location solution is the foundation
for supporting

capital-equipment logistics management that also enhances our
capabilities to reduce

inefficiencies and provide true cost-avoidance opportunities,=94 said
Mel Day, director of

engineering services of Flextronics. =93Looking forward, we see more
assets coming into our

facilities and devices that need to connect to the network, and
Cisco=92s new Mobility Services

Engine can help alleviate the challenge of managing multiple siloed
networks and devices that

need to interoperate.=94

Cisco Mobile Intelligent Roaming facilitates seamless handoff of dual-
mode mobile devices between

Wi-Fi and cellular networks based on availability, real-time network
information and user

location. It integrates with numerous offerings from service
providers, third-party vendors and

mobile device manufacturers. By utilizing network intelligence and
client software integration

from its open ecosystem of partners, Cisco Mobile Intelligent Roaming
software gives IT

additional control of mobile devices while helping to create a
seamless mobile experience.

=93As users access more applications and services on their mobile
devices, businesses need a

unified approach to managing the mobile networks and securing their
data. A unified mobility

system approach like Cisco Motion helps enhance the mobile experiences
and ease the automatic

handoff between wireless networks in offices and cellular networks in
public environments,=94 said

Tom Furlong, senior vice president, Services & Software, Nokia. =93Nokia
is targeting to deliver

automatic handoff to Cisco's internal Nokia Intellisync Call Connect
users and other customers in

its next software release.=94

Cisco Adaptive Wireless IPS is a new intrusion-prevention system that
delivers the feature depth

of an overlay solution with the full benefits of an integrated
solution. It integrates wireless

threat detection, mitigation, vulnerability scanning and performance
monitoring into the wireless

network. It assists in protecting against rogue access points and
clients, wireless hacking and

day-zero threats. RF spectrum analysis provides self-healing
protection. Proactive prevention

includes automated vulnerability analysis, management frame protection
and infrastructure

authentication. Purpose-built collaboration between wired and wireless
intrusion prevention helps

provide full protection (Layers 1 to 7) by detecting inappropriate
network activity or malware

spawned by wireless clients. The Cisco MSE centrally processes,
analyzes and correlates events

from the Adaptive Wireless IPS monitors, providing broad mobility
threat protection.

The final announced MSE software product, Cisco Secure Client Manager,
centralizes the security

and management of provisioning various mobile devices via the Cisco
Secure Services Client 802.1X

solution over wired, Wi-Fi, cellular and other wireless networks. It
addresses one challenge

faced by IT: managing the connectivity and security of Wi-Fi and other
mobile devices. The MSE=92s

open API enables integration with third-party device management
software and solutions.

The Cisco 3350 Mobility Services Engine is scheduled to begin shipping
in June 2008 with prices

beginning at $19,995 USD. The Cisco Context-Aware Software is
scheduled to begin shipping in June

2008. The Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 5.1 ships in
May 2008, and includes

critical new mobility features, as well as support for the Motion
architectural approach. Both

the Cisco Adaptive Wireless IPS Software and Cisco Mobile Intelligent
Roaming Software are

scheduled to ship in the second half of 2008, and the Cisco Secure
Client Manager Software is
