Key vertical industries that will be served by the alliance partnership in Brazil are: Communications, Media and Technology, Financial Services, Resources (Energy, Mining and Utilities) and Products (Automotive and Consumer). Cisco’s architectures that will be used include Data Center & Networking Infrastructure, Wireless, Unified Communications & Collaboration including Cisco Contact Center Solutions and Security in addition to IoE and Cloud technologies.
