Cisco pushes video conferencing

If there’s an overarching theme that Cisco is pushing at their Cisco Channel Partner 2011 event at New Orleans, first and foremost is cloud.

A second key theme would be video.

Not surprising, given Cisco’s foray into this area in recent years: Cisco Telepresence for the big enterprises, Tandberg’s video conferencing (which Cisco acquired for US$3.4 billion in late 2009) for the mid-range and WebEx hosted solutions for the SMB space.

Both CEO John Chambers and CTO Padmasree Warrior mentioned video more than a couple of times during their keynotes yesterday and today.

“By 2013, 90 percent of all consumer IP traffic will be video,” said John in his keynote yesterday, reflecting Cisco’s bullishness about the potential for this market.
