Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) and Nexus Dashboard Insights Workshop (NDI)
The Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) is a centralized solution designed to simplify the management of modern data center fabrics. NDFC streamlines the deployment, monitoring, and management of complex networking environments, making it an essential tool for organizations adopting advanced network architectures such as VXLAN EVPN, or traditional IP fabrics. With its intuitive interface and robust automation capabilities, NDFC allows administrators to define and enforce consistent policies, configure devices with ease, and ensure seamless fabric connectivity, significantly reducing the complexity associated with large-scale fabric management.
An essential complement to NDFC is Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights (NDI), which provides in-depth analytics and operational intelligence for data center fabrics. While NDFC excels at fabric provisioning and policy enforcement, NDI enhances visibility into the operational state of the network. It identifies potential issues, enables predictive analysis, and offers actionable recommendations for troubleshooting and optimization. Together, NDFC and NDI create a unified solution that not only simplifies fabric management but also ensures the ongoing health and performance of the network, providing closed-loop assurance that aligns with business needs.
The combination of NDFC and NDI delivers powerful benefits for data center operations, including enhanced efficiency, improved reliability, and reduced downtime. NDFC automates routine tasks, enabling IT teams to focus on strategic initiatives, while NDI proactively monitors the fabric for anomalies, helping to resolve issues before they impact services. This synergy between NDFC's fabric management and NDI's operational intelligence empowers organizations to maintain secure, scalable, and high-performing data center networks, meeting the demands of modern workloads and applications. Together, they ensure a comprehensive and resilient network management experience.
Cisco ACI and Nexus Dashboard Insights (NDI) Workshop
Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is a software-defined networking (SDN) solution designed to simplify, optimize, and automate data center networks by unifying physical and virtual environments under a centralized, policy-driven framework. It enables dynamic application provisioning, centralized policy management, and real-time network visibility, making it ideal for modern IT environments. Complementing ACI, Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights provides advanced analytics, health monitoring, and predictive insights to enhance network performance and reliability. By detecting anomalies, identifying root causes, and anticipating potential disruptions, Nexus Dashboard Insights minimizes downtime and ensures smooth operations. Seamlessly integrating with ACI, it offers actionable intelligence to maintain compliance, optimize application delivery, and secure network operations. Together, ACI and Nexus Dashboard Insights create a powerful ecosystem for managing and optimizing complex data center networks, driving operational efficiency and resilience.

eBPF is the Bee's Knees for Enterprise Environments
At its core, eBPF Programs are at the heart of how eBPF views and controls traffic. The eBPF technology is composed of bytecode that the kernel executes in response to specific events (a.k.a event-driven execution). Meaning the eBPF programs can be attached to various hook points in the kernel, allowing them to run in response to a specific event in the kernel. There's a lot of possibilities that stem from this event-driven execution. So many in fact, that eBPF was dubbed by Brendan Gregg as "superpowers for Linux!"
