Software-Define Access
A lot of this year’s CiscoLive! theme continues to build upon CiscoLive! 2017. We heard a lot about Cisco’s DNA Center and Software-Define Access. Here is the overview from Cisco’s e-Book on Software-Define Access.
“Cisco’s Software-Defined Access (or SD-Access) solution is a programmable network architecture that provides software-based policy and segmentation from the edge of the network to the applications. SD-Access is implemented via Cisco Digital Network Architecture Center (DNA Center) which provides design settings, policy definition and automated provisioning of the network elements, as well as assurance analytics for an intelligent wired and wireless network.”

There are plenty of Videos explaining SD-Access:
My Favorite video is from Tech Field Day with Shawn Wargo.
