A new era of networking for manufacturing.
The Network. Intuitive.
Explore Cisco’s intent-based networking
Imagine a network that offers visibility into production and inventory, creating context around everything that happens within the enterprise.
A network that understands business intent and dynamically safeguards new IoT initiatives while helping IT and operations teams collaborate.
A network that constantly monitors facilities, machines, and connected devices to identify and contain suspicious activity no matter where it hides.
That’s intent-based networking.
See how it works
It’s constantly learning.
The new network is always on, working tirelessly to collect, analyze, and present you with the information you need to run your business better.
It unlocks data from machines, sensors, and the network itself, turning info into insights that maximize productivity, improve quality, and prevent downtime.
See adaptability
It’s constantly adapting.
It’s a network that helps you keep pace with shifting customer and market needs by simplifying and automating responses to digital requirements.
An automated network can ensure continuous high-performance IT and OT services, increasing agility and innovation while lowering operational costs.
See security
It’s constantly protecting.
The new network is always searching for threats within your facilities and enterprise, even in encrypted traffic.
Now when an attack occurs, your IoT devices, production data, and intellectual property are protected by an intelligent network.
