Cisco Live 2026 showed where networking is headed next. Explore the top announcements shaping cloud, AI, security, and more. Cisco Live 2026 just wrapped up in Las Vegas, and if there was one message that came through loud and clear, it was this: Infrastructure is becoming more autonomous.

Discover the Megaport MCP Server and how it enables AI-powered, agentic networking through natural language access to network infrastructure. By Miwa Fujii, Community Manager - Terraform and Ryan Tucker, Solutions Architect In the cloud networking era, we’ve moved from manual configurations in the Portal to Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Terraform. But the next frontier isn’t just code, it’s intelligence. We are pleased to announce the release of the Megaport MCP Server (Open Beta).

Built as a globally distributed storage platform integrated directly into the Megaport backbone and co-located with Latitude.sh compute infrastructure, Megaport Storage simplifies how organizations store, move, and access data across distributed environments with a unified infrastructure experience spanning compute, network, and storage. For years, enterprise infrastructure has moved toward abstraction. Compute became elastic. Networks became software-defined.

Is your network holding your business back? Learn the warning signs that tell you it’s time for an upgrade before it hits your bottom line. Most network failures don’t just happen overnight, but are the result of warning signs that went unnoticed or ignored. The “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” mindset is one of the most common and costly mistakes in network management.

This fabric-native shield delivers private, professional-grade resilience that is easily added via the Megaport Portal in under 60 seconds. Megaport is evolving the connection. With the launch of Megaport DDoS Protection, we are securing the mission-critical Megaport Internet connection by filtering out malicious traffic before it ever reaches your platform.

Ready to scale beyond 100G? Learn why 400G is on the rise, when to use it, and how to deploy it. Network traffic is growing exponentially. Cloud adoption, AI, large-scale data replication, video streaming, and generative applications are all drivers, and enterprises with traditional connectivity setups may find themselves struggling to keep up. Enter 400-gigabit Ethernet (400G): a high-capacity, scalable networking standard that enables you to build faster and more cost-efficient networks at scale.

What it is, how it works, when to use it, and how to optimize it. Table of Contents Network Address Translation (NAT) has been around for a long time, playing a critical role in extending the lifespan of IPv4 as well as providing breathing room for deploying IPv6. Enterprises have been using it for decades in their corporate and data center networks as an integral part of their network management and security portfolio.
