IBM has significantly expanded its Cisco-focused professional services with new support and implementation options aimed at helping customers build more tightly integrated, better performing networks.
IBM’s Technology Lifecycle Services (TLS) group has added support for Cisco’s software defined networking and SD-WAN packages and unveiled IBM Network Health Check for Cisco networking.
Broadly speaking, IBM’s new TLS offerings aim to optimize infrastructure, reduce the time spent on hardware support, and provide insight into what needs attention in the network infrastructure.
