Network as a service, building network services that our customers can order via a webportal and deployed onto Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) and other devices via NSO

Pros

  • API
  • Policy Driven
  • single controller

Cons

  • reduced cost
  • more insight into the fabric health
  • remove the need for Nexus dashboard for multi-site connectvity
  • automation
  • able to deploy complex network constructs to the fabric very quickly
  • single Managment for config and gtroubleshooting
picked Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) and APIC as the fabric controller as a more integrated platform
we can deploy services in minutes rather than days
100% helped with the Central controller and api

Would you buy Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) again?

Yes

provides an API and a single controller for configuring the fabric, but is not cost effective when we are looking at very small sites when including the APIC, leaf and spines to provide a bare minimum platform for a standard platform offering. Platform is easy to automate and the policy based structure is good, but a larger learning curve. ways to improve and help with this learning curve would be good
