Cisco Crosswork Data Gateway is a model-driven scalable data collection platform that enables real-time data collection from multi-protocol capable devices, thereby reducing the need for multiple collection points for multiple applications requiring data from the network.

Cisco Crosswork Data Gateway is not a standalone product and needs to be deployed with one of the following Crosswork options:

1. Crosswork Cloud (Crosswork Trust Insights and Crosswork Network Insights)

2. Crosswork On Premise Applications (Crosswork Change Automation and Health Insights and Crosswork Optimization Engine)

Cisco Crosswork Data Gateway offers central visibility into services collecting data and type of data being collected. It can also be used to feed external data destinations (such as, an external Kafka or gRPC server) apart from Crosswork applications.

Cisco releases updated builds on the Cisco Support & Download site when needed.
