SD-Access

Make your IT operations more efficient, your network more secure, and your user experience more consistent across wired and wireless infrastructure.

The Need for SD-Access

Today there are many challenges in managing the network because of manual configuration and fragmented tool offerings. Manual operations are slow and error-prone. Issues are exacerbated because of a constantly changing environment. The growth of users and different devices types makes it more complex to configure and maintain a consistent user policy across the network.

SD-Access (Software Defined Access) is a transformational shift that helps your organization enable policy-based automation from the edge to the cloud. It gives your network architects the tools to orchestrate key business functions like onboarding, secure segmentation, IoT integration, and guest access. The technology automates user and device policy for any application across the wireless and wired network via a single network fabric. It allows IT to set network access in minutes for any user, device, or application, without compromising on security.

Benefits of SD-Access

Increased network agility

Control is automated through software, creating a more agile network that provides consistent, secure access to users, devices and applications across the extended enterprise.

Quicker network deployment

In a matter of some insignificant minutes, SD-Access helps NetOps to deploy network switches that would have taken lots of hours to install.

Reduced capex costs

When network functions are delivered through software, there is less hardware to purchase and you can utilize standardized “white box” solutions.

Simplified management

Policy-based automation reduces IT operational overhead, enabling IT staff to focus their efforts on digital transformation and other strategic initiatives.

Improved monitoring and problem resolution

Network administrators gain visibility into all elements of the wired and wireless network, improving their ability to monitor the network and detect and remediate issues.

Faster response to security threats

Software-defined access makes it possible to quickly update security policies throughout the network, and to quarantine users, devices or traffic deemed suspicious by threat analytics tools.

Enhanced user experience

Advanced analytics and machine learning can enable predictive network optimization, helping to ensure a high-quality user experience on any device from cloud to edge.
