Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI)
As a service consultant and system implementation engineer, ACI is being used to migrate legacy WAN networks to this new SDN architecture. It scales out faster and gives more agility for migrating networks. ACI will also allow faster deployment of greenfield implementations
- Network segmentation
- Future-proofing network
- Speed to implementation
- SDN architectures are constantly evolving so there's a need to upgrade constantly
- Some legacy architecture features are still in process of being brought in to ACI
- Support can be difficult due to changes
- better cost per port
- better cost per switch
- lower power consumption
have looked at other SDN but ACI is fastest and easiest to implement
