Cisco SD-Access

We use it for controlling all our access to our campus networks and allowing user flexibility, all the resources and logging into the company's intranet and other services that they need internally.

I am using SDA in part of my Campus infrastructure. It supposed to be easier to administrate , fewer manpower, it turns out the the solution need a dedicated team to deal with all the bugs.

With a lot of branches to manage, Cisco SD Access automation helped in saving cost and useful time on operations. It also helped us in audits.

Deploy this solution on a single customer and you will be truly amazed as it offers advanced features such as end-to-end segmentation, network automation, and a good user experience for a faster, more secure, easier to manage, and more efficient network. The two-piece, controller-based orchestrator and Network Fabric design [are] incredible, with many benefits for companies using this solution.

I configured and implemented this solution [Cisco SD- Acess] for 2 large companies. The main benefit I can include about this solution so far is the consolidation of all the below points: -Security: Identify and verify all endpoints and network segmentation (high and low level) -Monitoring: Network, applications and endpoints health, the best benefit in this point is related to insights that the controller provides to solve network issues. -Configuration: The deployment can be done in a way that saves time, not only for the first deployment but also for subsequent device incorporation in the network.

Cisco's SD-Access has reduced the downtime largely. [It] helped us in planning global expansion which can now be more agile. We are planning to invest in other areas due to the cost-savings from SD-Access and enhance our overall performance and productivity. The employees are interested in up-skilling in the technology, hence utilizing the resources in a better way.

We are using Cisco SD-Access for [the] whole organization. With the help of Cisco SD-Access, we are able to address the problems [of] automation through DNA center, network insight through assurance, and segmentation using SGTs. We deployed [Cisco] SD-Access in all our offices across Canada with two-layer architecture. Moving out from the complex traditional to next-generation networks save[s] our timelines for critical projects.

We have 50 of our bigger sites ready for Cisco SD-Access. We finished refreshing the hardware to various models of the 9500 and 9300 Series. We have DNA-C running in EMEA, AMEC, and APAC, with full ISE integration. We have migrated a site of 4500 users to SD-Access (in one weekend) and have implemented two greenfield sites--one with a couple of thousand users and one small site with 60 users.

The site operations managers are thrilled with the Assurance module, and, after a period of learning along with Cisco, our management is happy with the visibility DNA-C offers.
