Outcome: granular traffic control, reduced attack surface, and simplified compliance with PCI DSS and GDPR mandates.
A large university campus IT department deploys Catalyst 9500 switches with the 7-year DNA Advantage license to automate device onboarding, VLAN provisioning, and user policy assignment across 50+ buildings.
