Cisco has upgraded two of its core software programs to make it easier for enterprise customers to secure data-center and WAN<\/a>-connected resources.https:\/\/www.networkworld.com\/article\/3599213\/what-are-data-centers-how-they-work-and-how-they-are-changing-in-size-and-scope.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Cisco has introduced what it calls Integrated Domain, which combines the domain controllers of Cisco DNA Center and Cisco SD-WAN vManage to tie together network connectivity between the two domains as well as ensuring security-policy consistency end-to-end, according to Justin Buchanan, Cisco director of product management, security policy and access.<\/p>\n

It also allows the consolidation of functions within the Cisco SD-Access domain to coexist with that of the Cisco SD-WAN<\/a> domain on a single device, further consolidating and simplifying the operation, Buchanan said.<\/p>\n

DNA Center and SD-WAN vManage control and manage data center communications and SD-WAN connectivity, respectively. DNA Center<\/a> includes support for automation, virtualization, analytics and assurance, security, and Internet of Things<\/a> connectivity.  SD-WAN vManage collects data including network telemetry from Cisco vEdge devices, event alerts, and performance data from SD-WAN-connected resources.<\/p>\n
