Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI)
Primarily in a netcentric design. Virtual servers deployed using VMM integration.
Pros
- Ease of deployment
- Quickly identify issues / endpoints on the network.
Cons
- Code upgrades are a huge undertaking
- Lack of feedback through GUI during changes and upgrades
- Constant requirement to push new code versions due to code end of support.
- Code upgrades can take up to several days over 2-3 weeks to implement based on a fabric of 5 APICs and 140 nodes.
Scalability has been great to point until you reach a limit where it's required to build a second fabric. Rapid network deployment and troubleshooting are a huge benefit.
Using scripts to deploy and troubleshoot the environment are a big benefit.
