Cisco Releases New Developer Capabilities Across Its Intent-Based Networking Platform
June 12 2018 - 8:00AM
ORLANDO, Fla., June 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- CISCO LIVE - Cisco today announced that it has
released new developer capabilities across its intent-based
networking platform. These advancements underscore Cisco's
continued progress in delivering an open, programmable platform
that spans the entire network, from campus to data center, branch
to edge. By providing an open network, Cisco is empowering 500,000
developers, 60,000 partners and three million network engineers to
innovate upon the platform.
Intent-based networking represents a fundamental
shift in the way networks are built and managed. Moving away from
the manual, time-intensive methods by which networks are
traditionally managed, these modern networks capture business
intent and translate it into network policies. These policies are
then automatically activated across the entire infrastructure, with
the assurance that the business intent was delivered as
planned.
"Intent-based networking represents the next
generation of open, IP-based systems that we've seen can change the
actual fabric of society," said David Goeckeler, executive vice
president and general manager of Cisco's Networking and Security
Business. "Cisco is building an open architecture that will power
an ecosystem to accelerate intent-based networking innovation.
Already, our customers and partners are creating value from their
networks in ways they thought weren't possible as recently as one
year ago."
Announcing the DNA Center
platform
Today, Cisco is releasing new developer tools and open APIs
into Cisco DNA(TM) Center - the command and control
center for campus, branch and edge intent-based networks. DNA
Center turns the network from a combination of hardware devices
into a single system. With the availability of network-wide APIs,
Cisco now allows developers to easily program this system, tapping
into all of the analytics and insight the network can provide.
With a rich API catalog, DNA Center allows
customers to protect and inform their business like never
before.
Elevating network
intelligence into business operations: DNA Center helps
enable developers to program the network as a single system through
intent-based APIs. Now, developers can more easily create a new
generation of network-aware applications, and partners can
integrate the network into business processes.
Streamline IT processes
across functions: DNA Center helps enable network IT
administrators to exchange information to automate processes across
IT systems through software adapters. Now, IT can move resources
from operation to innovation.
Managing multi-vendor
networks: DNA Center gives developers and partners
the flexibility to support multi-vendor networks via a software
developer kit (SDK). This allows customers to simplify the
complexity of heterogeneous networks and manage them consistently,
as a single system.
Already, 15 Cisco partners have built innovative
solutions on the DNA Center platform and are demonstrating them at
Cisco Live.
Announcing the largest
developer community for intent-based
networking
Cisco is also announcing that its developer community, DevNet,
has surpassed 500,000 members. In building this large and active
community, Cisco has introduced a new source of innovation as the
network becomes increasingly programmable.
Today, Cisco is announcing three new developer
initiatives to fuel its innovation ecosystem:
- DevNet Ecosystem Exchange makes it easy to
find and share an application or solution built for Cisco
platforms. Business leaders and developers alike can use this
online portal to discover partner solutions that span all Cisco
platforms and products. It contains over 1,300 solutions.
- DevNet Code Exchange gives developers a
place to access and share software to quickly build next-generation
applications and workflow integrations. A curated list of sample
code, adaptors, tools, and SDKs is available on GitHub and written
by Cisco and the DevNet community. Code Exchange spans Cisco's
entire portfolio and is organized according to Cisco platform and
product areas.
- DevNet DNA Developer Center is a
one-stop-shop for developers to build applications and integrations
on the DNA Center platform. It provides comprehensive resources,
capabilities, use cases and learning materials for developers.
Availability, Services and
Support
- The new DNA Center capabilities are scheduled to
be available during the summer of 2018. Customers can purchase
these new capabilities from Cisco and its partners via existing
subscription offers.
- DevNet's Ecosystem Exchange, Code Exchange, and
DNA Developer Center are available now.
- Cisco and its partners offer a full lifecycle of
services to help customers streamline the journey to truly
intent-based networks.
