SD-Access 1.0

Cisco Software-Defined Access (SD-Access) is built on the principles of the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (Cisco DNA) and provides a transformational shift in building and managing networks: faster, easier and with improved business efficiency.

By decoupling network functions from hardware, Cisco SD-Access helps ensure policy consistency, enabling faster launches of new business services and significantly improving issue resolution times while being open and extensible and reducing operational expenses.
