Intelligent WAN (IWAN) Application for the Cisco® Application Policy Infrastructure Controller - Enterprise Module (APIC-EM) allows you to accelerate the deployment of IWAN and align to business priorities based on applications and user needs.
So what’s new in 1.2?
The IWAN Application update 1.2.0.1594 brings a number of new features and improvements. APIC-EM IWAN App continues to simplify WAN deployments by providing a highly intuitive, policy-based interface that helps IT abstract network complexity and design for business intent.
Business policy is automatically translated into network policies that are propagated across the network. This solution enables IT to accelerate the transition to hybrid WAN, and quickly realize the benefits of Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN): lower costs, simplified IT, increased security, and optimized application performance.
Cisco IWAN App includes the following features:
- Zero touch provisioning—Plug and play for remote devices without user intervention
- Simple workflows—Use case driven with step-by-step and site-to-site provisioning
- Business level policies—Rules drive network actions, abstraction of underlying policy configuration
- Network monitoring—Status and alerting of network issues
