Cisco Live 2022 is all set to sizzle at the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas. From a Cisco Cloud Networking standpoint, Cisco Nexus Dashboard, Cisco ACI, and Nexus 9000 Series switches are showing up in a big way.

Join us at the Knowledge 2022 Digital Experience for the latest innovations in Cisco’s Nexus Dashboard (ND) with ServiceNow.

Infrastructure as Code can be a wide and complex topic, especially when bridging between public cloud and on-premises resources. DevNet’s website is designed for all levels of users and can provide you with resources to help you today and in your future automation endeavors.

Cisco Secure ADC® is an industry-leading application delivery controller that continuously monitors and intelligently manages application traffic, ensuring the efficient use of network resources and optimizing application performance.

For those of you who have been following our development effort with Cisco ACI, as well as those haven’t been watching that closely, the F5 Agility 2022 event next week brings together and showcases the latest ideas and innovations around adaptive applications.

The AlgoSec solution with NDO brings the power of intelligent automation and software-defined security features for ACI. We explore multiple use cases, enabling application-centric operation and micro-segmentation, and delivering integrated security operations workflows.

Over the past 2 years, we’ve been working on enabling F5 ADC services within the Cisco ACI fabric using the F5 ServiceCenter App. This App is an agile development effort. driven by field and user input and has evolved in multiple releases which are available from Cisco’s DC App Center.

The AlgoSec Security Policy Management Suite and Cisco ACI enable NCR to manage application connectivity end-to-end across their network -- including public cloud, Cisco ACI and physical firewalls -- achieving zero-trust security and a reduced attack surface.

With applications transitioning into the cloud, businesses need to automate infrastructure and application deployment in order to stay ahead of the game. F5 and Cisco make programmability and automation inherent parts of operational IT processes, and Ansible provides BIG-IP and ACI users a simple, yet powerful, multi-tier automation and orchestration platform.
