Data Center Management & Orchestration

What it is

Cisco Nexus Dashboard provides unified management for data center networks, serving as a central platform for automation, analytics, and operations across ACI and NX-OS environments with AI-driven intelligence and streamlined workflows. Our Nexus Dashboard services include platform deployment, service enablement (Insights, Orchestrator, Fabric Controller), integration with existing management systems, and operational enablement.

Who it's for

  • Multi-Site Operations: Organizations managing multiple data center locations requiring centralized visibility
  • ACI Deployments: Companies running Cisco ACI needing simplified policy orchestration across sites
  • Compliance-Focused Organizations: Enterprises requiring comprehensive audit trails and policy validation
  • DevOps Teams: Groups needing API-driven infrastructure management and Infrastructure-as-Code capabilities
  • Large-Scale Environments: Organizations managing hundreds or thousands of switches requiring unified operations
  • Proactive Operations Teams: IT groups wanting predictive analytics and AI-assisted troubleshooting

Problems it solves

  • Management Fragmentation: Consolidates multiple management tools into unified platform reducing operational complexity
  • Limited Visibility: Provides comprehensive insights across entire data center infrastructure from single interface
  • Reactive Operations: Enables proactive issue identification and resolution through analytics and AI assistance
  • Multi-Site Complexity: Simplifies management and policy consistency across geographically distributed data centers
  • Manual Processes: Automates provisioning, monitoring, and lifecycle management reducing human error
  • Compliance Challenges: Ensures policy compliance with comprehensive reporting and audit capabilities
  • Troubleshooting Inefficiency: Accelerates problem resolution with advanced analytics and AI-driven recommendations
How our solution works

Step 1 - Discovery & Assessment

We evaluate your data center infrastructure, management requirements, existing monitoring tools, and operational workflows. Assessment covers fabric inventory (ACI, NX-OS, MDS), site topology and connectivity, integration requirements with third-party tools, and operational use cases and priorities.

Step 2 - Proposal & Design

We create Nexus Dashboard deployment designs including cluster sizing and placement, service selection and configuration (Insights, Orchestrator, Fabric Controller), site onboarding strategy, integration architecture with existing tools, RBAC and multi-tenancy design, and operational workflow recommendations.

Step 3 - Implementation & Delivery

Our team deploys Nexus Dashboard including platform installation (physical, virtual, or cloud), cluster configuration and HA setup, site onboarding and fabric discovery, service enablement and configuration, third-party integrations, custom dashboard and report creation, and operational validation.

Step 4 - Optimization & Ongoing Support

We provide ongoing platform maintenance and upgrades, operational training and enablement, custom workflow development, integration enhancements, and optional managed services for platform administration and proactive monitoring.
