Cisco DNA Advantage is positioned for teams that depend on policy-driven operations and centralized management across campus access switching. On a high-port Catalyst 3850 deployment, the longer term helps simplify budgeting and support planning, especially where the switch footprint is stable and the business wants to maximize the return on existing infrastructure.
