Software Defined Networking Solutions And Services
Software Defined Networking Solutions And Services—Cisco Intelligent WAN For SD—WAN SDN

Software defined networking (SDN) is enabling organizations to accelerate application deployment and delivery, dramatically reducing IT costs through policy enabled workflow automation. SDN technology enables cloud architectures by delivering automated, on—demand application delivery and mobility at scale. SDN enhances the benefits of data center virtualization, increasing resource flexibility and utilization and reducing infrastructure costs and overhead. SDN accomplishes these business objectives by converging the management of network and application services into centralized, extensible orchestration platforms that can automate the provisioning and configuration of the entire infrastructure. Imagine if you could deliver stronger security, faster time to service and innovation, reduced operational overhead, and business agility at the speed of the digital business. Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure™ (ACI™) for the data center, Cisco APIC Enterprise Module™ (APIC—EM™) in the enterprise, and Cisco Intelligent WAN™ (IWAN™) for SD—WAN offer unmatched IT solutions. Together with IT partners, open APIs, and IT orchestration tools, these solutions offer agility and operational efficiency.

When considering SDN, it’s important to define your desired business outcomes and plan each stage of the journey. Then you’ll want to know how to accelerate the benefits of SDN while mitigating the risks. With more than 50 million devices, 30 years of experience, and 6 million customer interactions each year, we offer a full range of professional, solution, and product support services. Cisco™ can help you achieve agile, fast IT. Aligned to your business needs. With lower costs. And more innovation. Common centralized IT policies bring together disparate IT groups and workflows. The result is a modern infrastructure that can deliver new applications and services in minutes, rather than days or weeks required in the past. SDN delivers speed and agility when deploying new applications and business services. Flexibility, policy, and programmability are the hallmarks of Cisco’s™ SDN solutions, with a platform capable of handling the most demanding networking need of today and tomorrow.
