Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI)

Cisco ACI is mostly used on our customers Data Centers (Public and Private sectors), helping to integrate Primary and Disaster recovery DCs. The Deployment scenarios can be Multi-site or Multi-Pod. The DCI (Data Center Interconnect) can be used to stretch VLANs between ACI Data Centres. The technology used for that is VXLAN.
  • Stretch VLANs
  • Security access between EPGs
  • Routing
  • Contract and filters
  • MSO (multi-site orchrestrator) tool
  • ACI is a powerful Data Center tool that you could be configured using API for programability
  • Data centre refresh
I haven't tested any other vendor to compete against ACI.
Improve connectivity, speed and trust. Add new technology, like VXLAN and interconnect between Data Centres easily.
Cisco ACI can automate processes through APIs programability, also orchestrator like MSO/Nexus Dashboard.
