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 changing 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.
