Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Overview

Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) bridges to an intent-based network, providing an open, extensible, software-driven architecture that accelerates and simplifies enterprise network operations, lowers costs, and reduces risk. Cisco provides a single-network fabric powered by deep intelligence and integrated security for automation and assurance across the entire network at scale. Cisco DNA Software subscriptions offer investment protection through license portability, software suites for typical use cases, flexible licensing, and access to new technology.

IT Management Challenges and Cisco DNA Benefits
