TITLE: Cisco Digital Network Architecture Centre (DNAC)

ABSTRACT:

ENTERPRISE network architectures are being challenged by the evolution of digital businesses
that are embracing mobile, cloud, video, and Internet– of–Things (IoT) technologies. Often referred to
as the digitization of businesses, the adoption of these technologies can impact our lives much as the
introduction of the Internet and World Wide Web did 20 years ago . The advent of big data and analytics
helps to enable better real– time decision making, automation, and efficiencies necessary to deliver such
digitalized applications competitively. Additionally, the wide availability of cloud services is supporting
these trends. The cloud is rapidly equalizing the opportunities for small and medium companies to cost–
effectively and rapidly access advanced IT services that were previously only within reach of established
organizations.

However, the evolution toward a dynamic, ubiquitous digitalized business does not come without
risks. Universal connectivity opens up new, and often, devastating security risks. Complexity of network
operations is expected to increase as such operations become more dynamic, generating more events
and data for an increasing number of users and applications. Unless addressed, the network will become
harder to manage and operate.

INTRODUCTION:

This paper is written for CXOs, network architects, and network engineers who wish to understand
the technical details underpinning DNA. Engineering– minded decision makers who want to understand
how the architecture supports the business benefits of DNA may also benefit from this paper. Readers
will learn the fundamental concepts of DNA. Section II offers a summary of the requirements that an
evolved enterprise network has to meet to support digitalized business processes. Section III then
outlines the main philosophy of DNA – a network where services can easily be automated, which
provides actionable insights for operators and application developers, and which offers full security and

regulatory compliance. The network architecture details are then introduced in section IV. The glossary
in the Appendix A provides definitions of the main concepts introduced in this paper.

Cisco DNA Centre is at the heart of Cisco’s intent-based network architecture. Cisco DNA
Centre supports the expression of business intent for network use cases, such as base automation
capabilities in the enterprise network. The Analytics and Assurance features of Cisco DNA Centre
provide end-to-end visibility into the network with full context through data and insights.
Cisco customers and partners can use the Cisco DNA Centre platform to create value-added
applications that leverage the native capabilities of Cisco DNA Centre. Use Cisco DNA Centre Intent
APIs, Integration Flows, Events and Notification Services to enhance the overall network experience by
optimizing end-to-end IT processes, reducing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), and creating value-added
networks.
