Today, with distributed connectivity across many devices, we are steadily migrating toward a world of unbelievably massive expansiveness and abundance. One study done in the third quarter of 2016 highlighted that the burgeoning acceptance of mobility, cloud, and IoT, has hugely escalated the number of new machine-to-machine (M2M) connections in comparison to the number of phones and tablets that were added to the network. It predicted that the number of connected devices on the Internet would exceed 50 billion by 2020 and one trillion networked sensors will be embedded in the world by 2022. The steady influx in consumption of cloud services and cloud-native applications, escalating mobile devices, and ever-increasing non-traditional IoT devices are mounting unprecedented pressure on the network—the central element connecting all the units of Cloud, IoT, Mobility, Security together. In this scenario, an entirely revamped enterprise network which is simpler and capable of efficiently containing the mounting pressure will draw the differentiating line between a business’s digital success and its displacement from the competition. It is in such an era, when the network has never been more critical to success, that Cisco, a name synonymous with enterprise networking, unveils its intent-based networking solution–The Network Intuitive. This neoteric network system runs on human-alike intent, context, intuition, and is firmly poised to be a significant breakthrough in the realm of enterprise networking. Guided by artificial intelligence and machine learning, The Network Intuitive has been crafted to be able to translate business intent into action, by automatically generating policies or fixing problems without human intervention.
Network—the Soul of Innovation
Enterprise network, as transparent as it often appears, forms the sole unifying element and the engine for innovation that brings together all the disruptions in an organization. It acutely helps a business’ entire executive team improve workforce engagement, create newer business models, and transform customer experiences. However, the traditional box-by-box approach of managing network operations does not, currently, stand sustainable owing to myriad reasons. Although in an organization, the network serves as the central point where the entire breadth and depth of business and IT intelligence can be gathered, massive volumes of beneficial insights still remain untapped. This intense dearth of requisite business and IT insights questions the eminence of the present data-driven economy. In addition to being complex and dependent on slow, error-prone manual operations, present enterprise networks also continue to be vulnerable to unanticipated and devastating cyber-attacks, like that from the WannaCry ransom-ware. Security concerns are even higher in Asia-Pacific where networks are comparatively less advanced, and attacks are on the rise, more than anywhere else.
The Network Intuitive, powered by intent and informed by context, contributes three elementary differentiators to Cisco’s forte–intent, context, and intuition
