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 vital 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 business’s first customer-driven configuration group-based method that templatizes enterprise and industrial SD-WAN deployments. 

Confirmed and examined: preconfigured catalog of greatest 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 an alternative of manually creating every configuration – an typically tedious and error-prone process – clients can leverage these greatest follow configurations to assemble community setups extra effectively. Analysis has proven that configuration errors are a number one reason behind community downtime and elevated safety dangers, which may considerably affect enterprise operations. By utilizing the Configuration Catalog, customers can cut back the chance of human error and achieve confidence that the required components are included for the specified use instances, 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 lowering the time and value of community operations. 

Go from setup in days to setup in minutes 

The catalog not solely saves time but additionally helps be certain that all configurations are accurately aligned with greatest practices – developed and examined by Cisco’s resolution engineering groups. In consequence, they cut 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 instances facilitates unified deployment administration between IT and OT 

Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN provides vital benefits for Industrial IoT (IIoT) use instances. Organizations in sectors resembling utilities, roadways and intersections, and oil and gasoline can deploy their industrial/OT WAN with ease, securely connecting distant property, 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 instances designed for IIoT environments which might 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 lowering 5G/LTE information utilization. They cowl the Catalyst IR1101 and Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Sequence Routers in each routed and NAT modes. These two modes comprise the vast majority of deployment situations we see our clients use. As well as, these CVP’s incorporate greatest practices from our Cisco Validated Designs for numerous industries as properly, so our clients 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 related roadways and intersections. The Configuration Catalog will proceed to obtain subsequent updates, including new entries for vital IT and OT use instances.
