#Cisco has described its partnership with Telstra as being one of "co-innovation", with the technology companies working together on several projects led by their digitisation strategy. "We made an announcement at Cisco Live," Yvette Kanouff, senior vice president of Cisco's Service Provider Business, said at the Telstra Vantage 2016 conference in Melbourne on Wednesday afternoon.
"We announced this unified customer experience, cloud networking services, rapid deployment ... elastic provision of services, operational efficiency, all of these great things that really change the way that networking and IT works.
"So it's about co-innovation between the two of us."
Cisco has a long-standing cloud, communications, and collaboration partnership with Telstra, with Kanouff saying that currently, they are co-innovating on three areas in particular: The Telstra Air Wi-Fi service; Cisco's Spark collaboration tool; and Cisco and Telstra's software-defined networking ( #SDN ) and network function virtualisation ( #NFV ) functionalities, which is labelled by Cisco as the Symphony Initiative.
"Symphony is this intelligent network orchestration that allows you to build products quickly," Kanouff explained.
"So the idea is as a company, you want to be able to take advantage of SDN, you want to be able to build things quickly."
