Cisco to launch new IoT partner program this month

Cisco has revealed that it will launch a new internet of things (IoT) partner program in late January, plus new IoT products. The company’s teaser is light on details other than mentioning a 28 January launch date. A registration page for a pre-launch partner briefing offers a little more information, namely a pledge that partners who tune in will “… learn how the latest Cisco innovations from data center and IoT help solve customers’ digital transformation challenges.” “From on-premises to cloud and out to the edge, the explosion of data and apps that fuel customers’ businesses disrupts IT and strains resources,” the page says, adding that “Cisco Data Center and IoT can help you solve their challenges in a world where there is nothing centered about data anymore.”
