Overall Satisfaction with Cisco Nexus
Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches are part of our ACI solution with the APIC to run in the leaf/spine ACI fabric mode. These switches form a “fat-tree” network by connecting each leaf node to each spine node providing consistent low-latency forwarding across high-bandwidth links.
- Network automation, improbability, and centralized management
- Stretch fabric design
- High speed non-blocking performance
- Software bugs are disturbing and need faster resolution
- Admins cannot edit schedule jobs, need to delete and recreate the scheduler
- The product is pricey in comparison to other vendors
- ROI - because we have fewer infrastructure components to build and maintain, the total cost of ownership is considerably low.
- We have the flexibility to integrate the IT infrastructure. It became just a simple request for administrators, like plug and play deployment.
- Integrated visualization of the Datacenter helps the IT department to have the necessary data to provide meaningful reports to management and tell the right story.
Native integration with ACI and new generation services. Readiness for future advancement in data center networks.
