Cisco Introduces Cius: The Enterprise-Class Business Tablet

In today’s fast-paced world, the need to be constantly connected and accessible has made mobility a strategic corporate asset across the enterprise. This has created the need for versatile, portable devices that can give its users seamless accessibility. At a time when the market is inundated with tablet PCs, Cisco introduces to you the tablet built specifically for business-use.

The workplace is set to see an enhanced sense of connectivity with Cisco’s Cius, an Android-based (Froyo) mobile collaboration platform designed to help organisations capitalise on the mobile, social, visual, and virtual needs of businesses today in the post-PC era by enabling anywhere, anytime access to secure business-critical communications, collaboration, and computing features from a single ultra portable device.

Functional on the Android OS, the Cius can not only can make use of the applications created for Android users but also those available on Cisco’s exclusive App HQ store. The Cisco AppHQ is a highly secure, cloud-based user storefront that provides capabilities for end users and IT managers, not found in other application stores today. IT managers want to know that applications deployed in their environment are appropriate for the enterprise.

Cisco AppHQ provides IT managers and users with a “trusted source” for applications, ensuring that every application within AppHQ goes through Cisco validation testing, whether developed by Cisco, third-party Android developer partners, or users within the enterprise.

With AppHQ Manager, IT will have the ability to allow (or deny) access to application marketplaces by user role or device and to grant (or deny) access to applications by type, source or category. This unique capability will let IT organisations balance the individual freedom of users with the enterprise-class policies on security and cost efficiency.

The focus on enhancing connectivity to bring people closer in a way that is smart, efficient and green is a perennial; videos is simply an extension of that vision. Cisco, having video-enabled all existing endpoints, is all-set to ride this wave. The introduction of Cius emphasises just that; the device has HD video on front- and rear-facing video cameras as well as interoperability with Cisco and third-party video endpoints.
