Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI)
We needed a Fabric VXLAN with 2 datacenters that we can install very quickly. We needed also to have the posibillity to add 2 or 3 other datacenter. We use it to manage the hosting/VM network. We needed some automation like terraform or ansible to create/modify network part. All new client are now product on this plateform since 1 year.
- Quick install
- easy automation
- multi pod
- policy contract
- upgrade
- monitoring inside APIC
- quickly install
- automation
Because it was quilcky to install and needed less people for the first install and automation. If we had the time I think we select the nxos with a vxlan fabric and automation like ansible but it needed to much time.
We needed in the year to had one leaf and it was really quick to install. The time to market is really good. The 25gb/s port are really good for the new server/firewall how use now those SFP. The problem was at a moment the time to reception the switches when we command (6 months or more).
The integration with terraform is very good, so we can have one automation language for switches, firewall (with fortinet) and vmware product.
The contract are hard to maintain for the moment with terraform and not really easy to understand for all the people.
