Policy Driven Data Center with ACI, The: Architecture, Concepts, and Methodology (Networking Technology)

<!--[if gte mso 9]> <xml> </xml> <![endif]--> <p style="margin:0px;">Using the policy driven data center approach, networking professionals can make their data center topologies faster to configure and more portable. They can also build cloud infrastructure faster than before. All of this can be achieved by using REST and python together with the latest Cisco technology called Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). <b> <i>The Policy Driven Data Center with ACI </i> </b>helps Architects, IT administrators, Network Administrators and Engineers to build and troubleshoot multipurpose cloud architectures.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> <br /> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">Cisco data center experts Lucien Avramov and Maurizio Portolani thoroughly explain the architecture, concepts, and methodology of the policy driven data center. The authors cover the key technology concepts, the tools for modern data centers including python scripting and REST, the design consideration and methodology of modern fabrics including VXLAN-based forwarding,  the policy model theory and concepts, how to build a multi-hypervisor and bare-metal infrastructure including OpenStack, the service integration, and advanced telemetry capabilities for troubleshooting. The book concludes by discussing universal data center switch architecture concepts in order to clearly understand switching concepts and the newer trends in the Nexus 9000 product portfolio. </p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <p style="margin:0px;">Drawing on their extensive experience in enterprise engagements, the authors present effective solutions for virtualized data centers, high performance computing, ultra-low latency environments, and large-scale data centers. In addition to discussing relevant concepts and methodologies, the authors address design considerations associated with hardware, topologies, automation, and scalability. Technical professionals will find invaluable guidance on migrating current data center environments to a policy driven data center.</p> <p style="margin:0px;"> </p> <!--[if gte mso 9]> <xml> Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE </xml> <![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 9]> <xml> </xml> <![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <![endif]-->
