Cisco introduces new training and developer
programmes to accelerate adoption of intent-
based networking
Cisco has announced that its global
ecosystem of customers, developers and
partners are embracing the company’s
ambitious vision for a new era of
networking. Unveiled recently, Cisco’s new
network can recognise intent, mitigate
threats and learn over time, representing
one of the most significant breakthroughs in
the history of enterprise networking.
This new network is the result of years
of research and development by Cisco
to reinvent networking for an age where
network engineers managing hundreds of
devices today will be expected to manage
one million by 2020. Companies managing
their networks through traditional IT
processes will not be able to scale in this
new age. Cisco’s approach creates an
intuitive system that constantly learns,
adapts and protects to optimise network
operations and defend against today’s
evolving threat landscape.
“Cisco is delivering a more intuitive
system that automates the edge of the
network and embeds machine learning and
analytics at a foundational level,” said Scott
Harrell, Senior Vice President of Product
Management for Enterprise Networking,
Cisco. “Intent-based networking signifies
a paradigm shift for our industry and a
completely new era of networking. It’s
exciting to witness our global ecosystem
– three million network engineers, 60,000
partners and 450,000 developers –
embrace the future of networking.”
Some 75 leading global enterprises
and organisations are already conducting
early field trials with these next-generation
networking solutions, including Jade
University of Applied Sciences, NASA,
Newcastle Hospitals, Royal Caribbean
Cruises Ltd, Scentsy, UZ Leuven and Wipro.
To drive adoption of its intent-based
networking solutions, Cisco announced
new training and developer programmes
to 28,000 networking professionals at the
company’s annual user conference, Cisco Live.
For Cisco’s channel partners, the
shift from hardware to software-centric
networking is driving them to evolve their
networking practices, develop new skills
and pursue new business opportunities.
Cisco is providing the programmes,
incentives and tools to help its partners
build networking practices that incorporate
software, security, automation and
analytics for their customers.
