Cisco ACI Automation & Orchestration Services
From multi site orchestrator deployment to advanced automation in order to optimize your Data Center network operations. Maaz Technologies helps you simplify, secure, and accelerate your Data Center Network operations with Cisco ACI Automation and Orchestration solution.
Why Cisco ACI Automation & Orchestration?
ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) is a Cisco’s data center networking solution designed to provide a software defined networking (SDN) approach for automating and optimizing data center network operations. It is Built with a powerful REST API and robust SDKs, ACI integrates seamlessly with tools like Ansible, Terraform, and other orchestration platforms to:
- Automate repetitive network tasks
- Maintain consistent configuration states
- Reduce human error and operational costs
- Scale rapidly across sites
Our Expertise in Cisco ACI automation
Replaces manual configuration with infrastructure as code (IAC) and API driven workflows for faster, more reliable deployments. It Performing configuration tasks programmatically (using APIs, Ansible, Terraform).
5 Ways We Do Cisco ACI Automation
1) REST API-Based Automation
Using Cisco ACI’s REST APIs, we enable interaction with ACI fabrics through any programming language. Our team can send JSON or XML configurations to your APIC controller, execute scripts, and visualize the output directly in the GUI.
2) Ansible Playbook Automation
With Ansible 2.4.0 and above, we automate user-defined tasks through playbooks, grouping multiple plays for efficient configuration management and deployment.
3) Terraform Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
We leverage Terraform ACI providers to maintain configuration states, streamline provisioning, and ensure compliance in large-scale ACI deployments.
4) Integration with Advanced Automation Tools
Beyond Ansible, we leverage cisco ACI chef automation, Python scripts, and Nexus Dashboard features to create a unified, automated network management experience.
5) Automated Backups & Policy Compliance
We automate backup of Cisco ACI APIC configuration files, run policy checks, and validate configurations before deployment to keep your network secure.
Our Cisco ACI orchestration Services
coordinates policies, configurations, and applications across multi-pod and multi-site environments for complete control. It Coordinating multiple automated tasks to work together (using workflows, pipelines).
4 Strategic Ways We Execute Cisco ACI Orchestration
1)Cisco ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator (MSO)
Deploy and manage the Cisco ACI Multi-Site Orchestrator (MSO) to control multiple fabrics from a single dashboard and improving scalability and resilience.
2) API-Driven CI/CD Orchestration
Integrate ACI orchestration tools into DevOps pipelines for continuous delivery and rapid rollbacks using Cisco ACI solution.
3) Single-Node & Distributed Orchestration Options
We support cisco ACI multisite orchestrator single node setups and full multi node clusters, depending on your performance and availability needs.
4) Multi-Pod & Hybrid Cloud Orchestration
Extend your ACI fabric to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud using hybrid orchestration workflows, ensuring consistent policy enforcement everywhere.
