Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI)
We use Cisco ACI as the only fabric for the Toronto Stock Exchange. It provides, Extranet, Internet and servers connectivity. We manage eveything through APIC and use Ansible and Gitops to provision the fabric. We use Nexus Dashboard Insight to monitoring and telemetry. It is a good tool. Good Product.
- Central Manage through Controller
- Software Defined Networking
- Datacenter Switching
- Integration with Cisco ISE
- Integration with Firewalls (Cisco or not)
- CLI on leaf is missing JSON output
- Less Employees to manage around 200 switchtes
- Integration and automation with Service Now.
- Better conifig management (less admin work)
Cisco ACI is better at datacenter switching.
No scallability issue and we have grown to over 200 switches.
We use Ansible to deploy on ACI. Its great !. Beats everything else and Internet is full of info on how to do it.
