Cisco Releases New Developer Capabilities

Cisco announced it has released new developer capabilities across its intent-based networking platform in the early days. These advancements emphasize Cisco's continued progress in delivering an open, programmable platform that spans the entire network, from campus to data center, branch to edge. Cisco is empowering 500,000 developers, 60,000 partners and three million network engineers to innovate upon the platform by providing an open network.

Intent-based networking represents a fundamental shift in the way networks are built and managed. Moving away from the manual, time-intensive methods by which networks are traditionally managed, these modern networks capture business intent and translate it into network policies. These policies are then automatically activated across the entire infrastructure, with the assurance that the business intent was delivered as planned.

David Goeckeler, the executive vice president and general manager of Cisco's Networking and Security Business said "Intent-based networking represents the next generation of open, IP-based systems that we've seen can change the actual fabric of society. Cisco is building an open architecture that will power an ecosystem to accelerate intent-based networking innovation. Already, our customers and partners are creating value from their networks in ways they thought weren't possible as recently as one year ago."
