Digital Network Architecture Implementation Essentials is designed to provide students with an insight into the Cisco Digital Network Architecture (DNA) and its solution components. The course highlights the need for digitization in networks and the guiding principles of DNA.

Implementation of componenets such as :Automation using Cisco APIC-EM and its built in applications like Plug and Play, EasyQoS, IWAN and Path Trace: Virtualization in Enterprise Branch Network using Cisco Enterprise Network Function Virtualization (NFV) Solution: Analytics using Cisco Connected Mobile Experiences (CMX) cloud: Security using Cisco StealthWatch, Cisco TrustSec and Cisco Identity Services Engine(ISE):Enterprise Network Fabric

Cisco APIC-EM and virtualization using Cisco NFV are incorporated into the labs to demonstarte DNA automation.
