Enterprise networking for branches and campuses.

One network across offices, campuses, plants and branches, designed around the users, applications and operating conditions it must support. Cisco supplies the platforms; CDS supplies the architecture, the delivery and the operations around them.

Networking services

The Cisco Enterprise Networking portfolio, mapped onto the way CDS scopes and delivers a network. Choose a specific requirement, or start with the current environment and let CDS help frame the right engagement.

Routing

Branch and WAN-edge routing for resilient site-to-site and internet-edge connectivity. Catalyst 8000 Edge · ISR 4000 · ASR 1000.

Switching

Campus access, distribution and core switching with identity-based policy built in. Catalyst 9200/9300/9400/9500 · SD-Access.

Wireless

Survey-led Wi-Fi design shaped by coverage, capacity and access-point placement. Catalyst 9800 WLC · Catalyst / Meraki APs · Wi-Fi 6/6E.

SD-WAN

Centrally managed policy steering traffic by application, performance and security need. Catalyst SD-WAN (Viptela) · Meraki SD-WAN.

Cloud-managed, and continuously assured.

Two capabilities that run across all four pillars: a single Meraki cloud dashboard, and continuous analytics and assurance.

Meraki cloud

One dashboard for switching, wireless, security, cameras and sensors, managed centrally across every site. Zero-touch provisioning brings new branches online without a technician on-site.

Unified dashboardSwitching, wireless, security, cameras and sensors
Zero-touch deploymentNew or remote sites online without a site visit
Centralised policy and firmwareConsistent across all locations

Run it as a managed service

Analytics and assurance

Continuous telemetry that turns network health into an early-warning system, not a post-incident report. Client, application and infrastructure health in one trend-visible view for IT and the business.

End-to-end visibilityClient, application and infrastructure health in one view
Predictive alertingIssues surface ahead of user-reported problems
Faster root-cause isolationAcross routing, switching and wireless layers

Delivery and support

Discovery, design, validation and deployment are scoped to your environment. The agreed deliverables and support responsibilities are documented before work begins.
