Cisco Nexus Dashboard review by [...]
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use it to orchestrate a multi az private cloud. Building out networks and consuming the rich telemetry data that comes with it. We're able to hide the complexity of configuring VXLAN EVPN networks from network engineers but also from the user by fronting it with a custom portal which offers the ability to create networks and tag those inside Infoblox
Pros
- Telemetry and history
- Network automation
- Customisation when no workflows are available
Cons
- Table sorting to be persistent
- Better static route work flows
- ESI support
Likelihood to Recommend
We used Cisco Nexus Dashboard specifically for automating the creation of networks in our private cloud environment using a VXLAN EVPN multisite environment. It integrates into Infoblox well. It's also very suited in network troubleshooting for past and present issues. Where I don't see it being used much is in the campus but it's nice to know we have the ability to add catalyst if needed.
