We know intent-based networking works because we use this model ourselves at Cisco—and because of customer feedback.
In a recent survey of Cisco customers, they said intent-based networking had enabled them to:
-
Achieve a 20–30 percent reduction in network operating costs.
-
Reallocate IT budget to build new capabilities that improve the business.
-
Spend less time running the business and more time on growing the business.
In addition, the network becomes inherently more secure and simpler to optimize for fast, highly-available connectivity. It also becomes much more agile and responsive to business needs.
