Cisco Introduces New Training and Developer Programs to Accelerate Adoption of Intent-based Networking

Cisco Live US (NASDAQ:CSCO) has announced that its global ecosystem of customers, developers and partners are embracing the company’s vision of networking.
As quoted in the press release:

Unveiled last week, Cisco’s new network can recognize intent, mitigate threats, and learn over time — representing one of the most significant breakthroughs in the history of enterprise networking.
This new network is the result of years of research and development by Cisco to reinvent networking for an age where network engineers managing hundreds of devices today will be expected to manage one million by 2020. Companies that are managing their networks through traditional IT processes will not be able to scale in this new age. Cisco’s approach creates an intuitive system that constantly learns, adapts, and protects, to optimize network operations and defend against today’s evolving threat landscape.
“Cisco is delivering a more intuitive system that automates the edge of the network and embeds machine learning and analytics at a foundational level,” said Scott Harrell, senior vice president of product management for enterprise networking. “Intent-based networking signifies a paradigm shift for our industry and a completely new era of networking. It’s exciting to witness our global ecosystem — spanning three million network engineers, 60,000 partners, and 450,000 developers — embrace the future of networking.”
