Actually we start our learning in networking career with Cisco. So it is very useful or easier to learn this product. And honestly speaking, I didn't work in any other data center solution other than Cisco. So I cannot compare what it gives us more than other popular stuff. …
I have not selected Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure. I only just started working with it. But speaking from a classical networking background, the possibilities are endless.
LAN, Storage network and compute were already Cisco so we moved from Nexus to Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure as natural alignment and simplified the dc operations.
My management chose after a deep evaluation involving the Cisco account manager and no one else. I was actually quite impressed by Aruba solutions but not in the position to correctly compare.
We use Cisco Nexus Series Switches on Cisco ACI. It helps to make new and easy connections. It will better if we can use Generative Artificial Intelligence with them.. We manage many domains in one place. We manage more than one company’s network, so Cisco ACI is really helpful.
Switching from NX OS to ACI OS made configuration easier after initial migration and getting to know ACI principles. There are no L2 loops and configuration mistakes as often as it used to be. There is only one management console, and policies are easily reused. The “Submit” …
The availability and support for Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure is significantly better than that of other options that we have tested/implemented. Some features, however, are significantly more expensive, which at times has driven the need to use other clunkier …
I have used competitors fabric products, however they were unmanaged (no APIC) and manually configured. In this deployment model, all tasks are manual and there is no central controller to monitor and maintain the system. It's also prone to configuration errors as each leaf …
It’s native support to applications through Application centric mode it’s attractive when deploying in a private cloud environment and it’s ease integration to compute/VMM resources allows the deployment procedure to be much efficient. Also Cisco is a lead in the market that …
I had been involved on a project that involved ACI, SD-ACCESS and SD-WAN implementation and one of the better things the level of integration of the solutions on the policies level.
NSX-T and ACI both are definitely awesome products. I tend to use ACI in networks that have more barebone and/or alternative hypervisors. NSX still works best in VMware heavy networks. Another consideration is where the network is managed, by which team. If the network is …
espaccially the Fabric Controller which was not in the List. But this tool really suprised me on that live. It is a better ACI for customers that don't do policy enforcement in their network.
