(upbeat music) >> In our recent predictions post, we said 2022 would see a complete reset of how organizations think about remote work. Data from ETR shows that we exited 2021 with 45% of workers still remote, and 29% working in a hybrid mode, with only 26% fully back in the office. The expectation, however, is that hybrid will become the dominant work model in 2022 and beyond, with only about a third of employees returning to the office permanently. As such, we've said that the capabilities to support this new model must evolve and deliver a highly secure, scalable, and never-can-go-down infrastructure. Hello, I'm Dave Vellante, and we're here with Raakhee Mistry, who is the director of product marketing at Cisco on the enterprise, networking, and cloud team. Welcome to theCUBE, Raakhee. >> Thanks for having me, Dave, very excited to talk about hybrid work with you today. >> Great now, so Cisco, you've got a strong point of view on hybrid work and some big news to really lean into and support customers in this transition. Raakhee, could you share a little bit about what we can expect from Cisco in this key area? >> Absolutely, we are thrilled to be diving into the details of our new networking innovation with theCUBE on February 15. Our top Wi-Fi, 5G, and switching experts will be joining you Dave, and they'll be discussing these important topics and how to transform the hybrid world. All of our customers are exploring how to architect more hybrid work, and this is a great opportunity for them to learn how they can prepare their infrastructure for great experiences from anywhere to support smart and sustainable workplaces and deliver secure IoT at scale. Included in this announcement, are new Wi-Fi 6 solutions powered by our industry leading (indistinct) and Meraki access points. In addition, we're going to compliment this technology with our enterprise Wi-Fi stack, with our new private 5G service that's provided by our service provider partners, to deliver more choice of mobile connectivity to our enterprise customers. And of course, we need to deliver a robust backbone, that's ready for all this wireless and IoT demand that's coming (murmurs) today and into tomorrow. And we will reveal the catalyst 9,000 acts, an extension of our flagship switching line. That will be now powered with Silicon one technology. After theCUBE interview that we have with you all on February 15, we will host our own customer virtual event on February 23rd and go even deeper into this technology, with demos, customer stories, and also new industry experts that will provide great advice on how to lead hybrid work and drive this transformation in your organization. This all aligns to Cisco's strategy to help our customers connect, secure, and automate in this new world and deliver an inclusive future for all. >> Okay, wow, thank you Raakhee. A lot to unpack there. And for sure every organization is trying to get hybrid work, right? So mark your calendars February 15th at 9:00 AM Pacific for theCUBE's preview of the network, powering hybrid work made possible by Cisco. We'll see you there. (upbeat music)
