How do you define SDN? And how does IBN continue its work? In this post, learn about SDN’s evolution, how IBN expands SDN, and how AI helps networks adapt.

Network automation can be a game changer for the modern, intent-based network, but only if that automation extend throughout the network. A Cisco DNA subscription and Cisco DNA Center do just that, effectively addressing your real network management needs.

Looking to modernize the city’s networking infrastructure and automate their facilities - ranging from schools, traffic lights, and sports stadiums - the historic city of Luxembourg chose Cisco DNA. With Cisco DNA, they were able to automate their operations, secure their services, and accelerate their transformation to a smart city.

Cisco’s multidomain integration is a new chapter in the intent-based networking journey with access and security policies that follow users and devices as network traffic traverses between domains.

How can you quantify the real business value that customers are seeing from AI/ML technology in Cisco DNA Center? In a video case study, the IT staff of REWE Group, one of Europe’s largest supermarket chains, breaks it down.

No more segmentation procrastination! Use Cisco DNA solutions to easily segment the network in your campus, branches, and extend it up to your data center and cloud. Provide the enhanced security, better access control, improved monitoring, and faster containment you need with policy-based drag and drop simplicity.

To meet the demands imposed by digital transformation, enterprise networks are increasingly complex and rapidly exceeding the abilities of humans to manage them effectively. Network controllers, following intent-based networking principles, automate management processes, minimize manual efforts, and make the network work in lockstep with business needs.

To modernize their networking infrastructure, Waterford Institute of Technology chose Cisco Catalyst 9K family of switches and wireless network devices, along with Cisco DNA Center, Cisco SD-Access, and Cisco DNA Assurance solutions. With it they can automate, assure network performance, and provide better security and network experience to their students and staff, and to startup companies in their incubation center.

Wireless technologies, AI, rich behavioral and telemetry databases, more flexible and economical WAN links, and abundant cloud compute resources are becoming available to address the new reality of increasingly complex networks.
