Cisco Views Video as Future Internet Killer App - Welcome to Yesterday
Note: I really enjoy these headlines, by my count video has been the killer app since 2005 *cough YouTube *cough. I thought Cisco would of gotten the memo first being that there enterprise level customer must be asking for more features in there switches to help with the bandwidth intensive video traffic. Anyways glad to see they are onboard :)
Cisco Systems believes video is the killer app for the next generation of Internet. But that will likely not impact the enterprise for another five to seven years. Cisco at its C-Scape conference in San Jose beat the collaboration drum in laying out its strategy and vision for the future of networking, with video playing a key part of collaboration.
But while Facebook, MySpace and other Web 2.0 technologies are pushing network service providers like AT&T to deploy major upgrades today, those same technologies are not a network growth driver in the enterprise today.
U.S enterprises such as Chevron today are cautious in their approach to Web 2.0 and collaboration technologies, said Louis V Ehrlich, CIO of Chevron's Global Downstream Operations in a panel discussion at C-Scape.
"We're playing with some things [such as Microsoft's SharePoint]…we have a few pilots. We are consciously incompetent [with using Web 2.0 technologies]," he said.
