Simplification in the multicloud era
In this era of digital transformation and business resiliency, vast amounts of data are being generated every second, and networking infrastructure is becoming more complex and distributed. While many tools are available to manage data center operations, this has become a challenge itself, because IT teams now must correlate information from numerous tools across hybrid environments. Business demands agility. However, IT and networking teams have always operated in a reactive, break-then-fix mode with multiple control points.
Cisco Nexus Dashboard solves these challenges by offering a centralized management console which allows network operators to easily access applications needed to perform the lifecycle management of their fabric from provisioning, troubleshooting or simply get deeper visibility into their network.
● On premises: Run Cisco Nexus Dashboard on the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Platform (previously known as the Cisco Service Engine)
● Hybrid: Run on premises and in the cloud
● Virtual: Run the Cisco Nexus Dashboard on any local compute*
● Cloud only: Run the Cisco Nexus Dashboard as AMI format on a cloud compute of the customer’s choice*
● SaaS: Deploy, maintain, and support your infrastructure from anywhere that has access to the Internet*
Onboard services from one interface
With the Cisco Nexus Dashboard, you get a unified operations view across all your sites and services.
The Cisco Nexus Dashboard scales out the size and number of fabrics and the operational services used to manage them. It also provides the operations team with a simple and consistent way for service access control and service lifecycle management.
The Cisco Nexus Dashboard delivers unprecedented simplicity by integrating multiple data center operational tools delivering best-in-class automation and insights from a single pane of glass to manage, monitor, and troubleshoot the network. Along with a uniform onboarding experience for data center sites and operational services such as Cisco Nexus Insights (NI), Cisco Network Assurance Engine (NAE), Cisco Multi-Site Orchestrator (MSO), and third-party ecosystem applications, the operator now has a single landing page and a consistent user experience for the administrator and operator to manage the lifecycle of the infrastructure.
The operator can run these services across multiple sites and quickly root cause issues. A quick glance informs the operator of the health of the various sites and the infrastructure services. The Cisco Nexus Dashboard has easy-to-navigate panels and dashlets if the operator wants to get a specific view.
● Are your network operations teams armed with the right tools to avoid costly downtime, meet business SLAs, and address scale for geographically distributed data centers?
