Intent-Based Networking with Cisco Catalyst Center and WWT

Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly known as Cisco DNA Center) is a powerful management system that leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) to connect, secure, and automate network operations. Catalyst Center simplifies management of Cisco® Catalyst® network infrastructure and ensures a consistent user experience across wired and wireless networks. It delivers enterprise-scale, secure, seamless, and reliable connectivity among users, applications; and lets you take charge of your optimizing your Cisco investment, and lower your IT spending.

Simplified and streamlined network operations

Cisco Catalyst Center simplifies the IT experience to streamline complex network operations, resulting in a faster time to value. This single, extensible software platform includes integrated tools for AIOps, NetOps, SecOps, DevOps, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) connectivity with AI/ML technology integrated throughout: 

Simplified and streamlined network operations

Simplify operations and reduce operational costs by leveraging AI and automating network operations.

Simplified and streamlined network operations

Improve user experiences with deep insights into business-critical applications and client health.

Simplified and streamlined network operations

Accelerate digital agility through business process automation using Cisco and third-party ecosystem.

Simplified and streamlined network operations

Secure the digital enterprise with intuitive security policy management, AI-enabled enforcement, and automated compliance checks.

Simplified and streamlined network operations

Drive sustainability by enabling smart buildings and optimizing Power over Ethernet (PoE) infrastructure.

Functionality this complete could be achieved before now only through the purchase and operation of multiple third-party software tools. The advantages of having all your core network tools integrated into a single software platform are compelling:

  • Get the network up and running faster with intelligent and automated provisioning.
  • Save valuable human capital with automation of routine administrative tasks.
  • Reduce outages and minimize business impact with AI-driven insights and predictive performance analytics.
  • Realize efficiencies of business process automation using an integrated Cisco and third-party ecosystem and leveraging the Cisco Catalyst Center APIs.
  • Deliver optimal user experience with deep insights into application performance and end-users' application experience.
  • Secure the digital enterprise with intuitive security policy management, strong AI-driven enforcement, and zero-trust network access.
  • Help the organization achieve sustainability goals by managing IT energy and enabling smart buildings.

WWT's Advanced Technology Center (ATC) supports the latest in Cisco Catalyst Center solutions.

Within the ATC, you can get hands-on access to Cisco Catalyst Center in these lab environments and learning paths:

Cisco SD-WAN (Viptela) Sandbox (20.3.4)

The Cisco SD-WAN 20.3.4 Sandbox is a capability of the ATC designed to provide an environment to gain hands on experience with the latest features in the Cisco SD-WAN solution. The environment that supports the Cisco SD-WAN 20.3.4 Sandbox is completely virtual, removing any hardware dependencies associated with physical infrastructure.
Sandbox Lab

Cisco Catalyst (Viptela) SD-WAN With SD-Routing

SD-Routing is a new capability offered by Cisco, in an attempt to simplify and overcome the challenges of traditional routing deployments. This capability enables autonomous (non-SD-WAN) routing devices to be managed through the Catalyst SD-WAN Manager, unifying autonomous and SD-WAN devices into a single platform, unlocking many of the tools and features previously only offered to SD-WAN devices, such as device lifecycle management, DIA (Direct Internet Access), Cloud-onRamp, and troubleshooting tools. Enroll to gain practical skills in onboarding traditional routing devices into SD-WAN Manager, and become proficient in leveraging SD-Routing's benefits for simplified network management and enhanced operational agility. Start your SD-Routing journey today!
