The Next Network: AI-ready Secure Networking Showcase For Gurgaon and Delhi CXOs planning a 2025 refresh

You plan a 2025 refresh. You want AI-ready, Zero Trust networking that survives audit and reduces time to resolve. The Next Network is an in-person event, where you see Cisco Secure Networking in action and leave with assets you can take to your steering committee.
Co-hosted by Proactive and Cisco.

Venue: Aerocity, New Delhi (for a better experience, details shared upon confirmation)
Date and time: Sep 19, 6:30 PM

The Problem to Solve

AI and security pressure keep rising while tool sprawl slows teams. Your fabric spans campus, branch, WAN, and data center. You run multiple consoles for policy, posture, and performance. Day 2 work stacks up. You cannot afford downtime when every workload depends on identity and network health. In Uptime Institute’s 2024 survey, 54 per cent of significant outages cost more than 100,000 dollars, and nearly one in five incidents crossed 1 million dollars. (Source: Uptime Institute, 2024)

What You Will See, Not Just Hear

You see a working blueprint, not a slide deck. Walk through campus, branch, and data center paths where segmentation maps to Zero Trust, operations run with closed-loop assurance, and AI-ready telemetry drives decisions.

• Secure by design with identity, posture, and segmentation anchored by Cisco ISE and integrated enforcement
• Operations that scale with anomaly detection, path insights, and Day 2 automation
• A unified fabric that treats Catalyst Center, Meraki Dashboard, SD-WAN, and wireless as one system
• An AI-ready foundation that captures rich telemetry to train and tune operations

Leave With Decision Assets, Not Notes

You leave with a reference architecture based on Cisco Validated Designs, a 12 to 24-month migration path, and a cost view that clarifies licenses and operations. You also receive a Cisco Secure Networking decision brief you can use in your governance meeting.

Why Now

AI traffic patterns change how you design backbones, buffers, and observability. Cisco’s 2024 Global Networking Trends highlights the pivot: 56 per cent of leaders expect to deploy enhanced Ethernet for AI workloads in the next two years. (Source: Cisco, 2024) That shift demands clear policy, lossless paths for training clusters, and real-time assurance across domains. Waiting adds technical debt you will pay for later.

Who Should be in the Room

Founders, CIOs, CISOs, Network Heads, IT Infrastructure Leaders, and Architects running an active network or security program in 2025. If your plan touches campus refresh, branch scale-out, SD-WAN consolidation, SSE or SASE adoption, or Zero Trust rollout, you will find this session practical.

What Makes This Different

You will see patterns from large Indian rollouts where Proactive Data Systems handled brownfield realities and tight change windows. You get both the Cisco depth and Proactive’s delivery view. You also get the option to book a Proactive First Access session earlier in the day for a one-to-one demo and consultation on Security CoE and the Meraki Dashboard. That makes the evening content even sharper for your context. You can request a Proactive First Access session in the registration form.

The Working Session Flow

• Live demo across campus, branch, WAN, wireless, and data center
• Architecture walkthrough based on Cisco Validated Designs for Zero Trust and AI-ready operations
• Migration patterns that reduce risk in change windows
• Cisco licensing models, with clear dos and don'ts
• Expert Q&A tailored to your environment

Questions Worth Bringing to the Room

• How will you enforce identity and posture consistently across Catalyst and Meraki domains?
• Where do you place segmentation controls when workloads move across clouds?
• Which telemetry will cut the mean time to resolve by 30 per cent or more?
• How will you keep policy guardrails intact during a multi-site refresh?
• What is your 12 to 24-month path that balances cost, risk, and time?

The Outcome You Can Expect

You walk out ready to make a decision. You will have a reference architecture tied to Cisco Validated Designs, a timeline you can defend, and a brief you can hand to your steering committee. You will know what to do next week, not next quarter.
