White Paper: Visualize, Optimize and Automate with Intent-Based Network Optimization Tools

The digital economy depends on networks, and people expect connectivity to be available from anywhere, on any device, so they can access information at any time. You need to be able to see what’s going on in your network, so you can determine how well it’s operating and if it’s supporting your desired business and compliance goals. With visibility into the network, you can identify hotspots in your network and optimize it before they become huge issues that affect users.

The rise of intent-based networking has led to a shift in how networks are planned, designed, and operated. In the past, tools weren’t available to declare intent and translate it into the device level configurations required to achieve a particular outcome. Optimizing the network used to be a manual process. But now with intent-based network optimization tools like Cisco Crosswork Optimization Engine, it’s possible to monitor network behavior, visualize the topology, see segment routing policies, and optimize the network based on criteria you specify.
