Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator
Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator provides consistent network and policy orchestration, scalability, and disaster recovery
across multiple data centers through a single pane of glass while allowing the data center to go wherever the data is.
Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator allows you to interconnect separate Cisco® Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI®) sites,
Cisco Cloud ACI sites, and Cisco Data Center Network Manager (DCNM) sites, each managed by its own controller (APIC cluster,
DCNM cluster, or Cloud APIC instances in a public cloud). The on-premises sites (ACI or DCNM in the future) can be extended to
different public clouds for hybrid-cloud deployments while cloud-first installations can be extended to multi-cloud deployments
without on-premises sites. In addition, Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator can be deployed through the Cisco Nexus® Dashboard, which
provides a single automation platform to access the data center network’s operational services and tools.
The single-pane network interconnect policy management and the consistent network workload and segmentation policy provided by
Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator allows monitoring the health of the interconnected fabrics, enforcement of segmentation and security
policies, and performance of all tasks required to define tenant intersite policies in APIC, DCNM, and cAPIC sites.
The Cisco Nexus Dashboard Orchestrator provides these main functions:
- Single pane of glass for administration and orchestration of multiple networking fabrics for both Cisco ACI and DCNM
- Automation of the configuration and management of intersite network interconnects across an IP backbone for both Cisco ACI and DCNM
- Consistent multitenant policy across multiple sites, which allows IP mobility, disaster recovery, and active/active use cases for data centers
- Capability to map tenants, applications, and associated networks to specific availability domains within the Cisco Multi-Site architecture for both Cisco ACI and DCNM
- Hybrid cloud and multi-cloud orchestration supporting onpremises Cisco ACI sites and public cloud sites (AWS and Azure)
- Capability to have multi-cloud ACI deployments without onpremises sites
- Ability to scale out sites and leaf switches based on resource growth
