Analytics and AI/ML combine to deliver stable, fast wireless networking
Cisco DNA Assurance provides insights from every device, application, service, and client on your network, and utilizes the latest AI and machine learning technology to make sense of all this data. It adjusts performance thresholds, reduces alarms and false positives, and then automates the process of issue resolution and performance enhancement.
No other system, or combination of systems, on the market offers similar levels of intelligence, and performance enhancements.

Say goodbye to operational complexity
Your network is more strategic to your business than ever. This means that your IT resources needs to manage—more than ever—a growing, complex network. More wireless clients, more bandwidth-demanding applications, and more services depend on reliable, consistent, and secure wireless connectivity. Your organization has its IT resources stretched to their limits in transforming your operations to support the new digitally connected world. Finding time for these new IT projects that are key to your core business is the biggest challenge that IT departments are facing today. With wireless assurance the days of time-consuming network troubleshooting tasks are over. Cisco DNA Assurance enables every point on the network to become a sensor, sending continuous streaming telemetry on application performance and user connectivity in real time. It then uses Cisco’s powerful AI/ML analytics engine to define what levels of performance are required for optimal user experience on your network and derive insights on optimization options. The clean and simple dashboard shows overall status and flags issues. Then, guided remediation automates resolution to optimize network performance and reduce mundane troubleshooting work. With Cisco DNA Assurance your staff can grow your network and still have time to take on the new IT projects that set your company apart from your competitors.

Top ways to get more from your network
Assurance is the guarantee that your network and its devices are doing what they are supposed to do. It’s the peace of mind you get when you don’t have to worry about network outages. At the same time, your network needs to be agile to allow your business to innovate and keep pace with changing requirements. Not to mention staying secure. This means network commoditization is no longer enough.
Use insights to improve performance
Cisco DNA Assurance provides the understanding of who, what, when, where, and how network traffic is flowing. Use the insights to improve the performance of business-critical applications across the LAN, WLAN, and WAN, and to accelerate problem resolution. This enables you to reduce the network’s vulnerability to outages and achieve better utilization for efficient operation and lower costs. In addition, the Cisco Aironet® Active Sensor is a compact wireless sensor that test-drives real-world client experiences by providing high-fidelity insight at ground level.
