The Solution
Cisco ACI lets the Bosch team address evolving networking requirements and increase efficiency and agility across its global data centers.
Using the open APIs in Cisco ACI and the flexible spine/leaf architecture of Cisco Nexus 9000 Series switches, fabric deployments are now zero-touch.
By incorporating Cisco NAE, Bosch can be certain that configurations are consistent, that devices are configured properly, and that segmentation and security policies are enforced.
“The openness and flexibility of Cisco’s APIs for automating both the underlay and overlay networks was a critical factor in our choice of Cisco ACI.”
Jan Holzmann, Senior manager for Central Network Services, Bosch
The Results
Adopted a single network platform for all data centers
Reduced time spent on network operations to enable innovation
Accelerated fabric deployment from days to minutes
“With Cisco ACI, we will be able to dedicate much more time to projects that move Bosch’s business forward.”
