Live Updates From Cisco Live EMEA!

Every year, the Natilik team attends Cisco Live EMEA to hear all the latest and greatest updates, with this year’s being live in Amsterdam. Stay tuned to hear all the hot topics, key insights and major updates straight from our teams on the ground at the conference this year!

Keynote Announcements

Cisco is making big waves at Cisco Live EMEA, revealing forward‑thinking updates that are redefining what’s possible in AI‑powered networking and security. Here’s a quick look at the key announcements:

Supercharging AI Data Centres with Silicon One G300

Cisco has unveiled the Silicon One G300, a powerhouse 102.4 Tbps switching silicon engineered to fuel massive AI clusters, bringing hyperscale performance, liquid‑cooled efficiency, and serious operational simplicity. This launch powers new Cisco N9000 and Cisco 8000 systems, helping customers maximise GPU utilisation and scale AI workloads with confidence.

Cisco Live EMEA Keynote Breakdown: Agentic AI, the AI Data Centre, and What’s Next.

Recorded live from Cisco Live EMEA in Amsterdam, this video breaks down the key themes from the main keynote and what they mean in practice for data centres, cloud, and enterprise infrastructure.

In this conversation, Matyas Prokop is joined by Nick Diesel as they discuss:

  • Cisco’s direction on agentic AI and becoming the infrastructure partner of choice.
  • The shift from scaling up and out, to scaling across disaggregated data centres.
  • Cisco’s Silicon One strategy and what it means for switching performance.
  • Liquid-cooled vs air-cooled infrastructure and the impact on power and capacity.
  • The AI data centre, AI factories, and built-in security with NVIDIA.
  • Unified visibility through platforms like Nexus Dashboard and HyperFabric.

As AI moves from experimentation to production, the data centre is back at the centre of enterprise strategy. This year at Cisco Live, Natilik explores how Cisco is positioning itself for what comes next.

AlgoSec, Cisco and Natilik, a winning partnership

Natilik’s Chief Business Development Officer, Leigh Bialik, joins our strategic partner AlgoSec to unpack the real challenges enterprises are facing today as AI innovation, cloud adoption, and hybrid environments converge.

 

Key Takeaways

      • Every organisation now operates as a technology business.
      • Speed without visibility creates risk, especially at the application layer.
      • AI adds real value when it clarifies flows, dependencies, and true areas of exposure.
      • Secure application connectivity isn’t a nice‑to‑have; it’s the foundation of modern business.

    Together, Cisco, AlgoSec, and Natilik empower organisations to move faster with complete confidence, delivering consistent, secure application connectivity across data centre, cloud, and multi‑cloud environments, without sacrificing control.

Inside Europe’s Largest High-Density Wi-Fi 7 Deployment

Ashley Mead, Natilik’s Wireless Solutions Architect, joins us from Cisco Live EMEA in Amsterdam to share insight from a behind-the-scenes tour of the Network Operations Centre.

Cisco Live EMEA is running one of the largest high-density Wi-Fi 7 deployments in Europe, supporting thousands of users in a highly congested live environment.

In this video, Ashley explains: 
  • How Cisco designed and operated Wi-Fi 7 at extreme density.
  • What high-density wireless performance looks like in practice.
  • How lessons from Cisco Live feed directly into enterprise wireless design.
For our clients, this real-world data informs wireless designs that are built to handle scale, density, and demand from day one.

 

Future-Proofing the Workplace: Networking, Security, and AI

Jordan Hobday, Network Solutions Architect at Natilik, sits down with Sam Hastings, Solutions Engineer at Cisco, to unpack the standout themes from the keynote and explore what clients are prioritising right now. Together, they dive into what “future‑proofing the workplace” really looks like from a networking perspective, and how organisations can build an agile, secure foundation that’s ready for whatever comes next.

The discussion explores:

  • The convergence of campus, branch, and platform management.
  • Why networking, security, and collaboration can no longer be treated as silos.
  • How security is moving closer to the edge with innovations like DPUs.
  • What built-in security means for modern access layer design.

The result is a practical look at how modern networks are being designed to be more secure, intelligent, and easier to operate as workplaces continue to evolve.
