Service Provider Strategy

Our Strategy

Cisco helps global service providers capitalize on the Internet of Everything in ways that are more mobile, visual, virtual, and intuitive. Our strategy is to solve customer challenges with an intelligent, converged architecture that creates innovative experiences and new business models.

An Intelligent Converged Architecture

Cisco offers service providers a horizontally integrated and intelligent foundational architecture that takes advantage of the Cisco Open Network Environment (ONE). Cisco ONE converges physical hardware and virtual software technologies to make the network easier to program, access, use, operate, and manage.

Cisco ONE is further enhanced by the Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) Together, these two technologies increase efficiency, accelerates innovation and reduce risk.

Innovative Experience Creation

We offer comprehensive services, hardware, and software solutions for service providers to create innovative experiences. Our solutions help enable you to optimize, accelerate, and monetize your network while connecting people, process, data, and things in new ways. Available service provider solutions and services include:

New Business Models

Cisco offers service providers unique business model improvement programs to promote your long-term success. Programs include:

Cisco ONE

Cisco ONE is the unified, horizontally integrated, and programmable framework that allows our customers to harness untapped network value, improve business agility, and gain operational simplicity. This results in lower capital and operating expenses (CapEx and OpEx) and improved profitability from new services.

A portfolio made up of Cisco technologies and open standards, Cisco ONE brings programmatic control and application awareness to the network. It combines the benefits of hardware and software across the physical and virtual.

Cisco Evolved Programmable Network (EPN)

Cisco EPN creates an end-to-end physical network infrastructure across video, mobile, cloud, and managed services. It has been the market leader and innovator in networking capabilities for over a decade. Cisco EPN offers a strong foundation for current and future solution needs in the core and data center, at the edge, and to customer premises.

Cisco Mobile Internet

Cisco Mobile Internet solutions were developed with elasticity and programmability in mind. They address service provider priorities of network reach, network intelligence, and service creation velocity.

Cisco Cloud Platform

Cisco Cloud Platform is a powerful set of capabilities that let service providers build public, private, and hybrid clouds. They can then offer new cloud-centric services and applications, both dynamically and on-demand.

Benefits of the Cisco Cloud Platform include increases in service acceleration to market, a shared infrastructure that pools network and data center capabilities, and potentially significant OpEx/CapEx reductions.

Cisco Videoscape and Videoscape Unity

Cisco Videoscape and Videoscape Unity solutions support new video-driven experiences that make television the medium of choice, carried forward across devices.

These solutions unify the power of Cisco Videoscape cloud, network and client hardware and software assets. They connect media companies, service providers, and consumers to new experiences - and offer design flexibility, too.
