DNA is not really an individual product but an over-arching End-End architecture that combines Virtualization, Automation and Assurance. I think what you really mean is the DNA-center which is the Automation and Assurance solution. From the network infrastructure point of view, your network switches, AP's/WLC's etc should have either of the DNA essentials or DNA advantage subscription licenses. DNA-center 1.0 will be a Controlled Availability release this month that runs on an appliance DN1-HW-AP. This is essentially an SDN controller/Policy Orchestration engine and Assurance module within the single platform. In August, you will get Base Automation capabilities such as Network PNP, Inventory, Wireless profiles, Site Hierarchies, Image management etc with the DNA essentials licensing and Advanced Automation capabilities such as Software defined Access (SDA) with DNA Advantage. Assurance and other capabilities will be available in November with DNA-center 1.1.
