network engineering and software development. A frequent speaker at events,
this is Stephens' fourth year to present at Networkers. He regularly
delivers SolarWinds "Geek Speak" Webcasts, where
he discusses top technologies, trends and best practices that help
thousands of network engineers.

"As companies continue to grow, managing the network can be particularly
painful if network administrators are using archaic tools that offer little
insight," Stephens said. "Network administrators need to take full
advantage of network tools that allow them to continuously monitor network
health. Networkers at Cisco Live provides a collaborative venue where
industry influencers can address and discuss best practices for making the
most of Cisco environments."

    to Cisco IOS that can enhance network management strategy. Technologies to
    be covered include NetFlow, IP SLA and EnergyWise.
