Enabling simplified software-based licensing, and helping with investment protection and flexibility, the architecture is delivered within the Cisco ONE software family. The new Cisco DNA comes with the latest version of Cisco's enterprise controller dubbed APIC-EM Automation Platform, Cisco Plug and Play, intelligent WAN, easy Quality of Service. The DNA also has an upgraded version of Cisco’s network operating system called Cisco IOS XE that includes enterprise network functions virtualization typically used by carriers to offer services. The CMX cloud with DNA provides management of Wi-Fi on boarding, customer data and engagement and analytics as a service.
