Automation

Question

A cloud provider deploys an infrastructure based on Cisco ACI Fabric, Cisco UCS, and Cisco HyperFlex Data Platform. The storage area network will be based on Cisco MDS 9000 Series Switches with Hyper-V, VMware, and KVM used as the virtualization platform. The requirement is to deploy the overall solution by using a robust automation and orchestration tool. Which tool meets these requirements?

Why each option

Cisco UCS Director is the appropriate tool for orchestrating and automating heterogeneous infrastructure environments, including Cisco ACI, UCS, HyperFlex, and MDS, alongside multiple hypervisors.

ACisco Prime Infrastructure

Cisco Prime Infrastructure is primarily focused on network management and monitoring for traditional wired and wireless networks, not data center infrastructure orchestration involving compute, storage, and virtualization platforms.

BCisco Network Assurance

Cisco Network Assurance is part of Cisco DNA Center's capabilities for assurance, focusing on network performance monitoring and troubleshooting, not multi-domain infrastructure orchestration.

CCisco UCS DirectorCorrect

Cisco UCS Director is designed to provide comprehensive automation and orchestration across a broad range of Cisco and third-party infrastructure components, including Cisco UCS, ACI, HyperFlex, and MDS switches, as well as multiple hypervisor platforms like VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM. It offers a single management console for provisioning and lifecycle management of the entire data center stack.

DCisco Cloud Center

Cisco Cloud Center (now part of Cisco Intersight Workload Optimizer) is focused on multi-cloud management and optimizing application placement across clouds, not the on-premise infrastructure orchestration described.
