Cisco Catalyst Center (DNA Center) Virtual Appliance License

Cisco Catalyst Center (DNA Center) Virtual Appliance License enables intent-based networking management and operational automation across campus and data-center environments. The platform provides unified control, visibility, and assurance for wired and wireless infrastructure through a centralized management plane that simplifies network operations and accelerates service deployment.

The virtual appliance deployment model allows organizations to run Catalyst Center on standard x86 hypervisor infrastructure (VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, KVM), reducing hardware footprint compared to physical appliances while maintaining full feature parity. This license model supports intent-based networking workflows, including automated provisioning, policy-based management, and real-time network assurance across multi-site deployments.

Catalyst Center integrates with Cisco's broader ecosystem including DNA Assurance, DNA Spaces, DNA Security, and third-party IPAM and ITSM platforms. Organizations leverage this platform to transition from legacy network management systems to model-driven automation frameworks, enabling faster troubleshooting, compliance validation, and predictive network health monitoring.

Ideal for

• Enterprise-wide network automation and device provisioning for large campus and branch deployments
• Real-time network assurance and health monitoring with automated issue detection and remediation
• Intent-based policy deployment across wired and wireless infrastructure with granular control
• Multi-site network management and orchestration for distributed enterprise environments
• Network compliance validation and audit reporting for regulatory and security requirements
• Migration enablement from traditional NMS to model-driven intent-based management platforms
