As part of its broadened capabilities offering, Cisco is also unveiling innovations to more effectively manage users and applications across the entire enterprise network \u2013 from campus networks and wide-area networks, to data centers and the IoT edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These new capabilities will grant IT teams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>More Visibility<\/strong>: No two networks are the same. Environments are always changing. Cisco continuously collects relevant data from local networks and correlates it against the aggregate deidentified data set to create highly individualized network baselines. These baselines constantly learn and adapt as the number of devices, users and applications evolves, and as environments change.<\/li><li><strong>Greater Insights:<\/strong>&nbsp;Network complexity has grown beyond the human scale of processing. Cisco uses machine learning to correlate the immense amount of data coming from the network against the individualized network baselines to uncover the issues that will have the greatest impact on the network. This improves issue relevancy, alerting IT of the issues that matter most. It also discovers trends and patterns, so IT can pre-emptively identify issues before they become a problem.<\/li><li><strong>Guided Actions<\/strong>: Cisco uses machine reasoning algorithms and automated workflows to perform the logical troubleshooting steps that an engineer would execute to resolve a problem. This helps IT detect issues and vulnerabilities, analyze the root cause and execute corrective actions faster than ever.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;As the pace of change and diversity of the environment continues to rapidly evolve, Cisco is committed to continually simplifying our solutions,&#8221; said\u00a0Scott Harrell, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco&#8217;s Enterprise Networking Business. &#8220;Artificial intelligence and machine learning can enable businesses to efficiently discern which issues to prioritize, becoming more nimble and proactive. This will have a profound effect on network operations and the IT teams that run them. At Cisco, we&#8217;re future proofing our networks and the workforce through automation and intelligence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Let&#039;s Talk Intent-based Networking and AI\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hleS88hSR_E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reducing Complexity with the Multidomain Network<\/strong><br>To help customers simplify the unprecedented complexity of modern IT, Cisco is building an architecture that spans every domain of the\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2491251-1&amp;h=2426663448&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cisco.com%2Fc%2Fen%2Fus%2Fsolutions%2Fintent-based-networking.html&amp;a=intent-based+network\">intent-based network<\/a>\u00a0&#8212; campus, branch, WAN, IoT, data center and cloud.\u00a0 Cisco has created solutions optimized to meet the unique needs of each of these networking domains.
