Podcast: Apstra leads the way for intent-based networking (IBN)

“Think of it (intent-based networking, IBN) as a turnkey solution,” says Mansour Karam, Founder and President of Apstra. In this podcast we learn about IBN and what it can do for people managing and securing Cisco networks in a multi-vendor platform. Apstra pioneered Intent-Based Networking in 2016, a full year before Cisco began to make its offerings. “It’s about simplicity,” says Karam. Karam outlines how IBN simplifies the process of maintaining and making secure networks that are Cisco centered as well as multi-vendor environments. We also learn how IBN matches network needs in the Age of Covid-19, with newly distributed workforces and hastened workforce distribution. Karam argues that the pandemic has hastened the digital transformation of the workforce and that this makes IBN more important than ever. Karam discusses that household name companies such as Bloomberg have embraced IBN. Apstra is available through a channel program and directly. Visit www.apstra.com
