Cisco and WWT: Delivering Seamless and Secure Networking Solutions for the Modern Enterprise

 

Cisco and WWT deliver seamless and secure networking solutions for campus and branch environments, ensuring that users enjoy uninterrupted access to applications and data at any time, from any location, regardless of where those applications are hosted. With a comprehensive and flexible portfolio, Cisco ensures frictionless connection for users and devices in the most complex environments with AI and security embedded from the start. 

The Battle of AI Networking: Ethernet vs InfiniBand

This article is not an exploration of who does Ethernet better so much as a direct examination of technology itself. Numbers will be reported as an aggregate means between major players in the AI Networking market and contrasted with equivalent InfiniBand performance. The goal is to answer, at an atomic level, one question: eliminating all other variables, is Ethernet good enough?

Cisco ACI Segmentation Migration Lab

Over the past few years many customers deploying ACI have opted for using the "Network-Centric" approach for implementing their ACI installations. Customers who no want to migrate to a Application-Centric approach often find their workloads are spread across multiple subnets, and grouping them by application is difficult. This lab provides a technique on how to make this migration simpler

Cisco ACI: Fabric & Hypervisor Setup

This is part 1 of our ACI fundamentals training, with Part 2, "Cisco ACI: Tenant & Fabric Connectivity," as the next step in the series. Cisco's APIC functions like a switch supervisor, configuring the fabric as if it were a single switch. The Spine/Leaf fabric discovery and self-assembly occur seamlessly, similar to plugging in the supervisor (APIC), fabric module (Spine), and blades(Leafs). This Learning Path delves into ACI's discovery process, fabric construction, and its extension to hypervisors via VMM integration, thereby expanding ACI control to the hypervisors' vSwitch. Part 2 will dive deeper into configurations that are applied to designate ports as access, trunk, or L3 ports.

Cisco Nexus Dashboard 4.1 Platform

Cisco has long led the development of standalone tools for data center networking, collectively known as the Day 2 Operations Suite. Recently, these tools have begun converging into a single unified platform called NEXUS Dashboard, which delivers a consolidated interface and shared data repositories to improve application correlation. This learning path is designed for administrators responsible for the daily operation and maintenance of the NEXUS Dashboard platform. It includes videos and a hands-on lab covering the essential tasks a typical administrator must perform. We'll explore what's new in NEXUS Dashboard 4.1, how to configure management-network routing, set up syslog, integrate remote NFS and SFTP storage and perform backups. We'll also walk through creating users and roles, and configuring Intersight. Finally, we will deploy an ACI simulator and onboard the ACI fabrics into the NEXUS Dashboard environment.
