A Brief Overview of How Cisco's DNA Center Helps Businesses

Managing networks for businesses can be complicated. There are a lot of moving parts. Due to this complexity, many organizations have moved to a software-defined networking model. SDN gives organizations a way to automate the networking environment reducing time for deployment, but that SDN model can still be difficult to manage. Using a product like Cisco's DNA center helps manage the SDN environment for network engineers.

The DNA center brings the management operations of the SDN environment under a single umbrella cloud dashboard. It is a centralized way to manage network automation, policies, and track telemetry.

Using DNA center to track telemetry data provides a quicker path for troubleshooting network issues and remediation. Cisco's DNA center uses machine learning techniques to track and catalog network events and organizes them in intuitive, visual flows. This helps IT technicians solve issues quicker.

Bringing network operations into a centralized management dashboard makes sense. It provides a method to both monitor and manage all network operations in a business that is easier despite whether it is a local or wide area network. By utilizing a cloud dashboard like DNA Center, IT professionals can solve issues anywhere and receive real-time alerts for network events.
