Inhaltsangabe

Migrate to Intent-Based Networking&;and improve network manageability, cost, agility, security, and simplicity

With Intent-Based Networking (IBN), you can create networks that capture and automatically activate business intent, assure that your network responds properly, proactively detect and contain security threats, and remedy network issues before users even notice.

Intent-Based Networking makes networks far more valuable, but few organizations have the luxury of building them from the ground up. In this book, leading expert Pieter-Jans Nefkens presents a unique four-phase approach to preparing and transforming campus network infrastructures, architectures, and organization&;helping you gain maximum value from IBN with minimum disruption and cost.

The author reviews the problems IBN is intended to solve, and illuminates its technical, business, and cultural implications. Drawing on his pioneering experience, he makes specific recommendations, identifies pitfalls, and shows how to overcome them. You&;ll learn how to implement IBN with the Cisco Digital Network Architecture and DNA Center and walk through real-world use cases. In a practical appendix, Nefkens even offers detailed technical configurations to jumpstart your own transformation.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Intent-Based Networking (IBN) enables you to create networks that capture business intent, automatically activate it across your network, assure that your network has responded properly, proactively detect and contain security threats, and remedy other network issues before users even notice. Intent-based networking makes networks dramatically more valuable, but few organizations have the luxury of building them from the ground up. In this guide, leading IBN expert Pieter-Jans Nefkens presents a unique four-phase approach to preparing and transforming existing network infrastructures, architectures, and organization to gain maximum value from IBN with minimum disruption and cost.

Writing for network consultants, network architects, network designers, and senior network engineers, Nefkens outlines the problems IBN is intended to solve, and illuminates its implications: not only for technical infrastructure but also for network architecture, team management, and culture. Drawing on his pioneering IBN experience, Nefkens makes specific recommendations, identifies pitfalls, and show how to overcome them. 

You’ll discover how to implement IBN with Cisco’s Digital Network Architecture and DNA Center, and walk through several real-world use cases: large enterprise networks, worldwide campus networks, mid-sized enterprises, and smaller businesses.

 

• Introduces a unique 4-phase methodology for incremental, non-disruptive “brownfield” transformations, since you probably can’t create a new network from the ground up
• Presents detailed guidance for implementing IBN with Cisco DNA and DNA Center
• Explains IBN’s crucial implications for managing network teams and evolving culture
• Contains start-to-finish case study scenarios: large enterprise networks, worldwide campus networks, mid-sized enterprises, and smaller businesses
