For organizations running Cisco Catalyst infrastructure, Cisco Catalyst Center (formerly DNA Center) transforms network operations — using AI to connect, secure, and automate everything from one console.
Four pillars of value
Automate
Day-0 Plug-and-Play provisioning, configuration templates, and software image management (SWIM) deploy networks faster and keep them consistent. No more manual CLI across hundreds of devices.
Assure
AI/ML-driven health scores and Application/Client/Device 360 dashboards cut mean-time-to-resolution. The Machine Reasoning Engine auto-diagnoses issues and prescribes fixes — before users open a ticket.
Secure
Integrates with Cisco ISE for zero-trust segmentation and enforces compliant, automated configuration across the entire campus and branch fabric.
Optimize
Capacity insights, PoE analytics, and 3D Wi-Fi visualization tune performance and hybrid-work experience. See exactly where bandwidth is going and where coverage gaps exist.
| Pillar | Key capability | Business outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Automate | PnP, SWIM, config templates | Faster deployment, consistent configs |
| Assure | AI health scores, 360 dashboards, MRE | Faster MTTR, proactive issue detection |
| Secure | ISE integration, zero-trust segmentation | Compliant, automated access control |
| Optimize | Capacity, PoE, 3D Wi-Fi | Better performance, right-sized infrastructure |
