Cisco Network Assurance Engine
Comprehensive. Intelligent. Continuous.
Cisco Network Assurance Engine (NAE) transforms operations in data center networks to a fundamentally more proactive model. Built on Cisco’s patented network verification technology, it is the most comprehensive assurance engine that mathematically verifies the entire network for correctness, giving operators confidence that their network is always operating consistent with intent.

Benefits
Cisco Network Assurance Engine helps network operations teams meet the agility, uptime, and security policy compliance requirements of modern data center networks.
Verify network-wide behavior
Ensure connectivity and eliminate potential network outages and vulnerabilities before any business impact occurs by continuously analyzing and verifying the dynamic state of the entire network against intent and policy.
Help assure network security policy and compliance
Reduce security risk and achieve provable continuous compliance by assuring network security policies and checking for compliance against business rules.
How it works
Cisco NAE brings together the most comprehensive, mathematically-accurate network models, over 30 years of Cisco’s operational domain knowledge, and thousands of codified failure scenarios that run right out of the box.
Data collection
Capture network-wide device state and configurations, controller policy, and operator intent
Comprehensive network modeling
Build mathematically accurate representations of network behavior spanning underlay, overlay, and virtualization layers.
Intelligent analysis
Continuously run thousands of knowledge-based error checks to generate SmartEvents that pinpoint deviations from intent and suggest remediation steps.
Transforming data center networks. Again.
Roland Acra, SVP of Data Center Business Unit, discusses Cisco's strategy for intent-based networking and how network assurance fits in.
