Intent-Based Infrastructure
Cisco’s expanding use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning has changed how infrastructure is designed, provisioned, and maintained. Where legacy infrastructure, manual configuration tasks and traditional scripting tools are inherently inefficient, next-generation platforms use policies to define the operational outcomes and dynamically create device-specific configuration. These configurations are then automatically applied throughout the infrastructure to ensure the availability, security, and performance of business applications.
This approach, deemed ‘intent-based’ configuration, is used to radically optimise campus networking, data centre, and SD-WAN services.

This approach to assisting customers through a defined lifecycle is unique, and a key reason Cisco awarded us ANZ Customer Experience Partner of the Year (2020). Our lifecycle approach helps customers to join the dots across clearly defined solution phases, from discovering new offerings through to their end user adoption, it will ensure your Cisco investment successfully delivers the improved business outcomes you’re looking for.
