A new year means new users and new devices. More devices means more network crowding. Mobile users demand bandwidth and speed, while the network is increasingly overwhelmed by the sheer number of devices. The networks of today and tomorrow have to be ready for high client density environments.

That's why we've developed the Cisco High Density Experience (HDX). I announced HDX in a blog last October with a high level look at Cisco's answer to handling high client density environments. Each feature in the HDX solution was designed specifically to alleviate the introduction of more clients, more bandwidth hungry applications to provide an unparalleled user experience.

Starting tomorrow we'll kick off an HDX blog series to dive deep into the four key features that come with HDX:

1. January 8: CleanAir
2. January 13: Turbo Performance
3. January 27: ClientLink 3.0
4. February 10: Optimized Roaming
