Cisco Software Defined Access
Introducing the Cisco SD-Access earns the Performance Verified certification in recognition of its proven superior performance in Network Automation, Zero Trust Security, and Insights and Analytics.
Enterprise networks are under constant pressure to increase capacity, enable new applications and improve security to support the business demands of modern organizations. The frenetic change of pace in such environments can often overwhelm the limited IT staff responsible for maintaining the network. Modern networks must therefore rely on software orchestration tools to help manage the increasing complexity of network configurations and topologies in a way that enables faster, standardized network deployments coupled with highly granular security controls. The architectural design underpinning these software-based orchestration tools becomes the forefront of integrating business demands with effective communications technology.
Cisco’s Software Defined Access (Cisco SD-Access) was tested alongside the latest competitive vendors, for comparison of their approaches to fabric deployments and network segmentation capabilities. This comparison is broken into three key areas Network Automation, Zero Trust Security, and Insights and Analytics.
Key Observations:
- Flexibility with Architecture and Management
- Simplified Operations
- Wireless Optimized Fabric
- Granular Policies for Users, Devices, and IoT
- Group-Based Policy Analytics
