SDA - DNA Center Appliance, virtual option exist?

[BogdanG]

Hi

I would like ask You, is exist only aplliance version for DNA Center (DN1-HW-APL) or mayby exist virtual option? if Yes, can anybody tell me something about requiremetns (Ram, cores, storage) for virtual option

This Aplliance cost a lot of money and can kill my project. I have only 100 devices (switches, APs) in total .
The second question is, if I have to buy Aplliance Version, can I use this platform (UCS) for other purposes (non Cisco) or for cisco MSE Virtual Appliance , Cisco Identity Services Engine VM. I know, putting all this on one platform is not resilent for failures, but this DN1-HW-APL cost about 98k$ in GPL

DNA-C is only available as an Appliance, There is a EFT coming out for DNA-C in the cloud but at first will only be available for wireless EFT's trials.

The appliance will be for DNA-C and Assurance. You will not be able to use as a ISE appliance as well. This is spec'ed for DNA-C only at this time.

Hello,

The DNA-C is only available as a physical appliance. Installation as a VM or custom UCS server are not supported.

This appliance cannot be used for any other purposes however, you can integrated ISE with it.

This is very unfortunate. Isn't their any lab virtual version available ? I don't care about redundancy. The fact that there is no virtual version downloadable for running x days severily limits my capabilities to run quick POCs and convince potential customers.

You may use dcloud

Or contact  account  manager from Cisco.

Their must be an internal VM version that is not yet released.
