    Let Us Help

    A new era of
    networking for education.

    The Network. Intuitive.

    Explore Cisco’s
    intent-based networking

    Imagine a network that understands intent and dynamically powers digital initiatives that fuel student achievement.

    This is a network that offers the visibility and contextual insights you need to stay ahead of digital learning trends and innovations.

    A network that monitors access and verifies all data before cyber attacks or security breaches put student data at risk.

    That’s intent-based networking.

    It’s constantly learning.

    The new network is always studying. It collects and analyzes network data, turning it into insights so you can personalize learning, facilitate collaboration, improve sustainability, or optimize IT.

    It’s constantly adapting.

    The new network optimizes experiences and keeps up with the speed, scale, and complexity of innovation so you can deploy applications, integrate a learning management system, or open new buildings.

    It’s constantly protecting.

    From edge to cloud, the new network guards against threats to critical data, stopping security breaches before they impact your bottom line, your school's reputation, or student and faculty achievement.

    How much could you save with an
    intent-based network?
