Cisco will be partnering with Intel, Alpha Data and GBM for the forthcoming GITEX Technology Week embracing the overriding themes of the ‘Internet of Things (IoT) and the ‘Internet of Everything’ (IoE).
All these companies will join Cisco to demonstrate ‘real life’ Smart City scenarios to visitors as well as showcase their key business architectures and technology solutions that will help facilitate digital transformation in the IoT/IoE era.
Cisco stand will include an augmented reality city as well as a government transportation demo. It will also showcase key business architectures and solutions that will be key for digitization including Security, Cloud, Data Center and Virtualization, Mobility and Collaboration. The companies will also use the platform to demonstrate how smart technology solutions are and will play an increasingly important role in improving the quality of life, not just for upcoming generations, but for everyone today.
The Stand for the first time will also feature a Social Media Wall which will enable people to submit their social messages based on hashtag. The messages will then be displayed in real time on the Wall with accompanying profile pictures within the boxes surrounding the screen.
“We very pleased that GBM, Intel and Alpha Data, will be joining forces with Cisco at GITEX Technology Week this year. Together, we can drive a stronger message of how digitization will be vital for Middle East countries and organizations to embrace the IoT/IoE era. Digital disruption has the potential to reshape markets faster than perhaps any force in history by increasing a country’s GDP, reducing spending and creating much needed jobs. Together with GBM, Intel and Alpha Data, we plan to unveil our ‘Digital Acceleration’ strategies and demonstrate how organizations can become fully digitized in the 21st century,” said Rabih Dabboussi, General Manager – UAE, Cisco.
