New Technology Pages Provide Additional Troubleshooting

Information; New Solutions Pages Offer Valuable Insight Into

Implementing Specialized Networks

Further empowering its customers with the technical information they need to ensure network reliability, Cisco Systems “Cisco” redirects here. For other uses, see Cisco (disambiguation).
Cisco System,Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO, HKSE: 4333 ) is an American multinational corporation with 54,000 employees and annual revenue of US $28.48 billion as of 2006.
 today announced the latest additions and enhancements to the Cisco Technology Pages at its Technical Assistance Center (TAC 1. TAC - Translator Assembler-Compiler. For Philco 2000.
2. TAC - Terminal Access Controller.
) Web site (www.cisco.com/tac). The TAC Technology Pages provide industry-leading technical information, knowledge and tools for troubleshooting network issues. Additionally, the Cisco TAC launched its new Solutions Pages, which contain more focused technical information for customers designing and supporting end-to-end network architectures. The first available Solutions Page provides detailed information on architectures for voice, video and integrated data (AVVID AVVID Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data (Cisco)

) network configurations. Leveraging the expertise of a worldwide network of TAC engineers, the Technology and Solutions pages provide customers with direct access to technical information that previously required a phone call to Cisco TAC technical support engineers.

"Maximizing network availability is one of the most important objectives for many businesses today," said Richard Dean, Program Manager for IDC's Network Support and Integration Services research program. "To help its clients and services partners improve efficiencies, increase customer satisfaction, and get to market faster, Cisco's online TAC continues to deliver a robust portfolio of network and systems integration solutions that can help maximize network availability."

"At Networked Information Systems (NIS Niš or Nish (both: nēsh), city (1991 pop. 175,391), SE Serbia, on the Nišava River. An important railway and industrial center, it has industries that manufacture textiles, electronics, spirits, and locomotives. ) our team of Cisco Certified Engineers use the TAC Technology Pages as a tool for implementing complex networking solutions for our customers. We use the Technology Pages for researching network technology, as they provide an ample supply of documentation, sample configurations, and technology solutions," said John Tiso, a Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE See Cisco certification.  No. 5162) with NIS, a Cisco Partner in the New England Region. "Our engineers also use the capability of the TAC pages to open technical support cases electronically. This allows our engineers to place all information about a technical situation in front of a TAC engineer without making a single phone call, saving everyone a great deal of time."

"Cisco is committed to providing its customers with the most comprehensive and robust technical content in an easily accessible format on the Web," said Steve Gordon, Director of the Technical Assistance Center at Cisco. "The customer feedback we received with the launch of the Technology Pages earlier this year was extremely positive. We have built upon this initial success with the addition of new Technology Pages and the Solutions Pages that capture the specialized expertise of our worldwide network of technical support engineers."
