Transition to Cisco Software Defined Access for State Government.

  1. Assessment and Planning:
    • Evaluate the existing network infrastructure to identify areas for improvement.
    • Determine the specific requirements and goals of the state government in terms of network performance, security, scalability, and manageability.
  2. Understanding SD-Access:
    • Educate key stakeholders and IT personnel about the concepts and benefits of Cisco SD-Access.
    • Conduct training sessions to ensure the IT team is equipped with the necessary skills to deploy and manage SD-Access.
  3. Design Phase:
    • Collaborate with Cisco or certified partners to design a customized SD-Access solution tailored to the state government’s needs.
    • Define network policies, segmentation requirements, and access control mechanisms.
  4. Deployment:
    • Implement SD-Access architecture based on the design specifications.
    • Deploy Cisco DNA Center for centralized management and automation of network tasks.
    • Configure software-defined networking (SDN) controllers, switches, routers, and access points according to the defined policies.
  5. Integration:
    • Integrate SD-Access with existing IT infrastructure and services seamlessly.
    • Ensure interoperability with legacy systems and applications.
  6. Testing and Validation:
    • Conduct thorough testing of the SD-Access deployment to ensure functionality, performance, and security.
    • Validate policy enforcement, segmentation, and access control mechanisms.
