Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) Overview

Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) serves as your team’s bridge to an intent-based network. This open, extensible, software-driven architecture accelerates and simplifies enterprise network operations, lowers costs, and reduces risk. Cisco provides a single-network fabric powered by deep intelligence and integrated security, delivering automation and assurance at scale. Cisco DNA frees IT from repetitive tasks, allowing focus on business innovation.

Cisco DNA Software subscriptions offer four key benefits: investment protection through license portability, software suites for common use cases at attractive prices, flexible licensing models for distributed spending, and access to new Cisco technologies.

Addressing IT Management Challenges

• Shrinking IT budgets: Budgets shrink while demands grow; costs of IT and downtime rise. Cisco DNA delivers value with better-together pricing, easier deployments, and license portability for hardware upgrades at no extra cost.
• Infrastructure inflexibility: Lack of automation delays provisioning. Cisco DNA enhances agility with tools for deployment, maintenance, and management.
• Lack of buying options: Need flexibility to reduce risk and costs. Cisco DNA supplies subscription-based and flexible models for even spending distribution.
• Implementation risk: New software disrupts operations. Cisco services provide expertise, tools, and processes to minimize risk and downtime.
• Excessive maintenance time and costs: Routine tasks limit innovation. Cisco DNA accelerates ROI with performance optimization and expert guidance.

Benefits of Software Subscriptions

• Faster access to innovation: Frequent feature releases, up-to-date security, software refresh independent of hardware, renew and scale as needed, license portability for flexibility.
• Better financial planning: Predictable spending, shift from CapEx to OpEx, keeps vendors focused on value.

Massive WAN transformation with intent-based networking: policy-based orchestration, automation, assurance. Cisco DNA Premier is the preferred offer for pure-play enterprise-grade SD-WAN, cloud networking, and WAN-as-a-Service.
