ACI is based on Cisco’s intent-based networking technology. This technology allows customers to quickly make network and policy changes and ensure that data is delivered successfully. ACI Multi-Site allows two data centers located in different regions to connect through L2/L3 networks, ensuring consistent policy enforcement across both sites. The Multi-Pod technology enables seamless communication among various groups of equipment within each data center’s network.

F5 Big IP DNS distributes secure DNS information and application requests based on business policies, data center and cloud conditions, user location, and application performance. According to Cisco, customers can enhance security by encrypting traffic at the network edge with DNS integration. This helps protect applications from DDoS attacks, malware, and data breaches.

Khan said that by integrating the packages, organizations can effectively balance the load of both global and local application traffic. Additionally, they can also automate the process of redirecting applications.

If there are unexpected events, like a power outage or a network problem, the F5 BIG-IP LTM and DNS solutions can keep the application running. They redirect the requests to other virtual servers in a different data center. This way, the application stays accessible.

The management of the package is done independently. The Cisco ACI fabric is managed using the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator and the Cisco APIC, while F5 products are managed by F5.

The primary objective of this integration is to assist customers in maximizing the effective utilization of resources that are distributed across various locations.

More information about the integration requirements for the package are available at: CLICK
