Digital Network Architecture Implementation Essentials 

Cisco is giving its Digital Network Architecture (DNA) a shot in the arm with a new training course for partners: the DNA Implementation Essentials (DNAIE).

Partners will learn general concepts including the role of orchestration and automation enabled by controllers in DNA, as well as integration with other technologies and security implementation. DNAIE is a five-day course dubbed as a "training bootcamp" for partners.

"It's to really be able to look at this entire architecture and understand the very critical components – whether it's the infrastructure, the programmability aspects of it across the networks, how you do the analytics, how the data collection from IoT all fit together or how all of this infrastructure is secure," said Teshi.
