Traditional networks cannot meet the demands of a digital network. Traditional networks were hardware centric, manual with fragmented security, and focused on network data. The new network that drives digital business demands a software-driven approach, automation, built-in security, business insights with proactive monitoring, and troubleshooting. With this vision, Cisco launched the new era of networking powered by the Cisco® Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA™).

The latest innovations in Cisco DNA include new software capabilities that deliver greater intelligence and security through Cisco ONE™ and Cisco DNA subscription licensing for access switching and wireless software and an architectural approach that delivers end-to-end visibility, automation, and insights for switching. Introducing new subscription offers for access switching and wireless built on an entirely new era of intent-based networking.

Cisco DNA advantage delivers policy-based automation with SD Access, monitoring, and Cisco DNA Assurance.
