Description

Cisco's partnership with Nutanix presents an all-encompassing hyper-converged infrastructure solution that seamlessly merges computing, storage, and networking into a single, software-defined platform. This collaboration harnesses the power of Cisco's Unified Computing System (UCS) hardware in conjunction with its Intersight management platform, paired with Nutanix's innovative software capabilities, to create a highly scalable and efficient HCI environment. The offering promotes zero-touch operations extending from the data center to the edge, significantly boosting resilience through its natively integrated networking features, while also allowing for the independent scaling of compute and storage resources tailored to the dynamic needs of applications. Various configurations are supported, including Cisco's C-Series rack servers and the modular X-Series systems, addressing the diverse requirements of enterprises. Management is simplified through Cisco Intersight, which allows users to deploy, configure, and monitor hyper-converged systems via a single interface that is accessible anytime and from any location. This level of integration and ease of management ensures that organizations can adapt swiftly to changing demands and optimize their resources effectively.

Description

Address the complexities of overseeing IoT field area networks that encompass thousands or even millions of interconnected devices. The Cisco IoT Field Network Director (FND) serves as the comprehensive network management platform tailored for extensive FAN deployments. Factors such as environmental fluctuations and variations in cellular network coverage can significantly impact the connectivity and bandwidth of IoT gateways and devices. Cisco FND is specifically built to assist operations teams in navigating the lifecycle management of large-scale FANs, adapting to dynamic conditions and network limitations to maintain continuous functionality. It offers zero-touch deployment alongside secure enrollment for vast numbers of IoT gateways and endpoints. Additionally, it features role-based access controls, user audit trails, and secure communication methods for transporting IoT data via networks and VPN tunnels. Furthermore, it ensures dependable communication over both cellular and low-power networks for effective lifecycle management, alongside 24/7 real-time monitoring and alert systems. With automated enrollment and provisioning processes for gateways and endpoints, operational efficiency is greatly enhanced. This comprehensive suite of features positions Cisco FND as a vital tool in managing the evolving landscape of IoT networks.
