The network of the future is here. At least that's what Cisco thinks. The company's intent-based networking paradigm promises to offer organizations greater flexibility in how they operate both their networks and data centers. The platform gives them new flexibility by having business intent and needs drive the functions of their IT infrastructure. We spoke with experts from Cisco and CDW at Cisco Live 2018 about how intent-based networking is changing the business landscape.
