The True Cost of Observability
Balancing uptime and observability is crucial for IT leaders. While extreme availability minimizes costly downtime, it demands significant investment. Observability tools can reduce outages but may inflate costs. Decision-makers must weigh the benefits of reliability against costs, aligning investments with business value and risk tolerance to achieve optimal outcomes.

Zero Trust
Partner POV | Insights for 2026 from Forescout CEO, Barry Mainz
In 2026, Forescout and partners will tackle accelerated AI-driven threats with Universal Zero Trust Network Access, transforming defense strategies. By embedding operational AI, enhancing visibility, and ensuring quantum readiness, they aim to shift from reactive to proactive security, empowering partners to secure faster and adapt to evolving challenges in a complex digital landscape.
Zscaler Zero Trust Lab
Zscaler is responsible for securing more than 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 companies. They provide security as a service delivered through a purpose-built, globally distributed platform. The focus of this lab is zero trust access utilizing a solution known as Zscaler Private Access (ZPA). ZPA is a cloud service that provides seamless, zero trust access to private applications running on public cloud or within the data center. With ZPA, applications don't need to be exposed to the internet, making them completely invisible to unauthorized users. This service enables the applications to connect to users via inside-out connectivity versus extending the network to them. It disrupts legacy approaches to remote access such as traditional VPN, establishing per-service dynamic encryption and trust evaluation.
Partner POV | The Visibility Gap Undermining OT and IOT Security
Visibility is crucial for securing OT and IoT environments, where assumptions often replace facts. As connectivity grows, understanding device interactions and traffic patterns is essential for enforcing Zero Trust principles. Without visibility, security becomes guesswork, risking operational integrity and safety. Embrace visibility to transform blind spots into informed control.

Cisco ACI Multisite Nexus Dashboard 3.2 Orchestrator (NDO)
Cisco's Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO) allows an ACI policy to be managed with a single pane of glass to for the whole environment. The key to NDO, the administrator is able to create consistent security and connectivity policies across multiple physical, and virtual sites.
This lab will go through all the steps necessary to bring up an ACI Multi-Site environment from two existing ACI fabrics.
Building Cisco ACI Multisite using NEXUS Dashboard 3.2 Orchestrator (NDO)
Cisco ACI is a policy-driven CLOS or Spine/Leaf based switching fabric utilizing layer 3 ECMP routing in the underlay and VXLAN encapsulation in the overlay to transport layer two and layer three traffic East/West across the fabric and North/South in and out of the fabric. ACI consists of the Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC), a centralized controller that manages all aspects of the ACI fabric. The leaf switches are ToR switches that provide connectivity between servers and external networks, and the spine switches are Layer 3 switches that provide ECMP high-bandwidth connectivity between leaf switches. An ACI fabric can be expanded East/West by adding leafs, cabling to the spines, and registering them. ACI was designed to operate as "One Big Switch" (like a chassis-based NEXUS 7K) with the controllers acting like the Supervisors, the spines as fabric modules, and leafs acting as blades. This approach allows us to decouple these elements from the chassis and place them anywhere in the data center. The leafs (blades) can be placed anywhere in the data center, so you are not limited to a chassis.
We can take this decoupling one step further and put a leaf in a remote data center (remote leaf), place a spine and leaf fabric extension into a second data center (multi-pod), or a new spine-leaf fabric in a data center (multi-site). Using the NEXUS Dashboard Orchestrator (NDO), we can treat multiple fabrics as one entity from a policy standpoint and manage and perform day two operations from a single pane of glass. The power of ACI allows us to stretch layer two and layer three across multiple fabrics and use a single policy for forwarding traffic in the data center.
This Learning Module will guide you through basics and implementation skills.
Operating Cisco NEXUS Dashboard 3.2 Insights
Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights (NDI) delivers a data-driven architecture for continuous network assurance, leveraging advanced analytics and AI to correlate telemetry from ACI and NX-OS fabrics into actionable intelligence. Rather than relying on reactive troubleshooting, NDI enables predictive operations by detecting anomalies, isolating root causes, and identifying performance risks before they impact production.

Stop Stacking Boxes. Start Designing Security.
Back-to-back firewalls were effective 15-20 years ago, but in today's encrypted, identity-driven and rapidly evolving threat landscape, they add cost and complexity without meaningful protection. Modern security replaces duplicated perimeters with platform-integrated NGFW enforcement, segmentation and coordinated prevention—delivering stronger, measurable defense through intelligent design rather than stacked legacy controls.
