What they're saying
“It used to take us days to get a switch configured and months to do a data center software upgrade. With Cisco ACI and our enhanced Ansible playbooks, we are able to achieve zero-touch provisioning for switches, and data center software upgrades only take weeks. That’s an incredible gain of speed and agility.”
