Go-To Datacenter Switching

In our organization, we are using Cisco ACI as our main data center switching platform. All in all, Cisco ACI has done exactly what we expected it to do. There was a little learning curve at the beginning of the transitioning process but once we started figuring everything out it was rather easy for us. Once deployed, we really haven't had to touch it. It's doing exactly what it should be doing day in and day out.

Since we already have a lot of policies crafted in Cisco ACI, any new devices we decided to plug into ACI are seamless and save a ton of time. Cisco ACI has been exactly what we needed to help us save time. We are able to use it as our data center switching for both physical and virtual networks so we don't have to have two separate products doing that.

We have not yet got our feet wet with the automation that Cisco ACI provides. We would like to someday and it is on our radar. We know once we start the automation process, our lives will be that much simpler and our time will be freed up to work on other items that need our attention.
