Cisco Galway And My Brush With a Television Career

Jan, 17, 2017 Hi-network.com

If you're looking for something to watch on Netflix, might I suggestJack Taylor? For youGame of Thronesfan, it stars the lovely Iain Glen, who plays a fired detective turned private investigator.

My recommendation has everything to do with the fact that it's set in Galway, Ireland, where I live (and where my Cisco office is!) Speaking of Cisco, I'll just stop here to mention that one of the episodes was FILMED HERE ON SITE!

Filming "Jack Taylor" at Cisco Galway.

You see, I received an email from a TV production company based here in Ireland saying they were going to start filmingJack Taylorin Galway. To my excitement, the email also said that they were looking for a location that would serve as a young, dynamic, modern, hip, sophisticated, software company with attractive people (okay, I added the last one for fun) and they thought that Cisco Galway would be the perfect fit.

Um, yeah!

I could hardly contain my excitement (which had just a little bit to do with gorgeous Iain Glen, but more because it would be cool to watch a TV production being made on site at Cisco!) Maybe we would even get walk-on parts (and Oscar nominations.)

I spoke with the management team here in the Galway office, and they were as excited as I was. Because we ARE a young, dynamic, modern, hip, sophisticated office and it would also be a bit of fun. We told the production company that we were in!

The cameras arrived along with set dressing, props, makeup, wardrobe and the actors/actresses. Next thing we know, we're a TV set for real!

There's "Jack Taylor" himself, with Cisco tech in the background.

All day, we would hear "rolling!" and "cut!" We did keep working in the background, but for sure, it was hard. Two of our Cailins (that's Irish for "ladies") got asked to do a walk-on part. I kid you not, they were pure professionals. Though, all they had to do was walk by on their mobiles looking like engineers -our office is full of engineers, so the people here do that in real life every day! Filming went on all day and featured much of our Cisco technology -including the IX5000.

Just a typical day, posing with Iain Glen.

I just watched the episode where Cisco Galway was featured, and it was fun to relive the day in my mind again.

Cisco Galway is always exciting, but this was extra exciting. Something different is always happening here, and you just don't know who you could meet in the office.
