Cisco on the Importance of Virtualization

Virtualization is all about anywhere, anytime with any device...allowing you to do virtually anything.

This video provides a solid, clear definition of virtualization for a non-technical audience.

In preparation for the launch of Cisco's new corporate website in early 2011, we developed a series of videos, this being one, focused on our main areas of business. As these videos get shared and viewed, our hope is that they will not only show our relevance in these areas, but also provide a better understanding of why you should care about these areas of technology. These are videos that serve not only to educate those outside the tech industry, but also influencers - whether they be investors, analysts, media, or business leaders - who are looking for solid, creative ways to explain the techiest of tech topics in simple terms. Enjoy!

Full script:
So I got this ordinarily very conservative CIO. And the other day she comes up out of the blue and tells me I can go out and do virtually anything I want. So I was like peace, I'm outta here. Then - it hit me! What she meant by "do virtually anything" was that now I could work on any application I want, using any device I want, anywhere - thanks to the virtualized data center! (pause) Okay .. you look a little confused. Check this out.
Here's our data center. Turns out, it's just had a major makeover - Computing, networking and storage are now unified into a single virtualized system that's more agile, more efficient and more responsive than ever.




What's that mean for a guy like me? If we're a PC office but I wanna use my iPad, no problem.

This is a beautiful thing, right? Life is good. It means that, in a virtualized world, we can now access all of our content on any device, anytime, anywhere.

And look what else!

Our CIO's now like, a total hero - because now she can tell people what they CAN DO instead of what they CAN'T DO.

Our data center - transformed into a competitive weapon - virtually overnight.

This is a new datacenter for a new world. The future - is bright and limitless. You gotta get up and take full advantage of this.

Wow, virtualization. Suddenly the world doesn't seem so dark.
