Intent Based Networking and the Extended Enterprise

Networking for the enterprise has grown throughout the history of technology. However, struggles such as lack of security, high costs of upkeep, and an IT team that is bursting at the seams are making way for new technology as a solution. In this ever-changing world of technology, enterprises are learning how to leverage networking to work for them, instead of against them. Intent based networking or IBN gives the IT department more control, with less hands-on work. Although the idea of an IT department working with their network instead of for it may sound far off, IBN allows this to happen efficiently.

The IT team will be able to do more than just offer networking systems to the local campus and data center. Instead, the team will be able to expand operations across the entire extended enterprise, while creating many benefits your business. IBN is on the verge of being the best networking option for the extended enterprise due to lower costs for upkeep and technology.

In this business technology briefing, Intent Based Networking and the Extended Enterprise, we will explore:

  • Intent Based Networking (IBN) and the importance it has on the extended enterprise
  • The details of IBN as a networking option and how it enhances productivity, security, and reduces costs
  • The elements of the technology of IBN, such as the DNA Center and SD-Access Extended Nodes
  • Case studies that show examples of the benefits when using intent based networking within the enterprise

IBN is the perfect way to strengthen your network, gain visibility and find predictive performance from your network.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
