Cisco unveils SD-WAN Configuration Catalog to streamline industrial deployments

One small step for the New Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Configuration Catalog, one large leap for IT and OT

SD-WAN has emerged as a crucial device to handle each enterprise and industrial networks. However managing the community, particularly when it’s throughout a geographically distributed space, can enable for some complexity. We deal with this problem by introducing the trade’s first customer-driven configuration group-based method that templatizes enterprise and industrial SD-WAN deployments. 

Confirmed and examined: preconfigured catalog of finest practices that can assist you get essentially the most out of Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Supervisor 

The Configuration Catalog is a brand new functionality that’s constructed into SD-WAN Supervisor, providing a repository of predefined, optimum configurations designed to streamline community deployments. As a substitute of manually creating every configuration – an usually tedious and error-prone activity – prospects can leverage these finest observe configurations to assemble community setups extra effectively. Analysis has proven that configuration errors are a number one reason for community downtime and elevated safety dangers, which might considerably influence enterprise operations. By utilizing the Configuration Catalog, customers can scale back the chance of human error and achieve confidence that the mandatory parts are included for the specified use circumstances, maximizing the capabilities of their SD-WAN resolution. These well-vetted blueprints, mixed with Catalyst SD-WAN’s monitoring and orchestration capabilities, empower IT and OT customers to confidently deploy Industrial IoT routers at scale, whereas considerably decreasing the time and value of community operations. 

Go from setup in days to setup in minutes 

The catalog not solely saves time but in addition helps make sure that all configurations are appropriately aligned with finest practices – developed and examined by Cisco’s resolution engineering groups. Consequently, they scale back the chance of troubleshooting brought on by configuration points.

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Configuration Catalog for Industrial IoT (IIoT)

SD-WAN configurations designed for Industrial IoT use circumstances facilitates unified deployment administration between IT and OT 

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN gives vital benefits for Industrial IoT (IIoT) use circumstances. Organizations in sectors similar to utilities, roadways and intersections, rail, and oil and gasoline can deploy their industrial/OT WAN with ease, securely connecting distant belongings, minimizing errors, and saving time. That is essential in industries the place community reliability is crucial, and even minor disruptions can have vital operational impacts.  

The Configuration Catalog consists of particular use circumstances designed for IIoT environments which can be coated by Cisco Validated Profiles (CVPs). These CVPs, developed with buyer enter and extensively examined by Cisco’s Answer Engineering groups, characteristic optimized default settings, particularly for mobile WAN, together with decreasing 5G/LTE information utilization. They cowl the Catalyst IR1101 and Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Collection Routers in each routed and NAT modes. These two modes comprise the vast majority of deployment eventualities we see our prospects use. As well as, these CVP’s incorporate finest practices from our Cisco Validated Designs for varied industries as nicely, so our prospects are getting the very best of each worlds: referenceable community designs to simplify the deployment of IT applied sciences in OT at scale, and the Configuration Catalog to extra simply make {that a} actuality – serving to them get essentially the most out of contemporary industrial automation.  

Extra catalog entries are coming in Q4CY24 for each IR1101 and IR1800, particularly for linked roadways and intersections. The Configuration Catalog will proceed to obtain subsequent updates, including new entries for crucial IT and OT use circumstances.
