Short overview about Cisco Aci Active Active Data Center and what's good to know about.

In a traditional data center, two independent hardware systems provide network redundancy in an active-active configuration. If one system fails, the other system takes over. This is known as 1+1 redundancy.

In a Cisco ACI data center, two independent hardware systems provide network redundancy and load balancing in an active-active configuration. All traffic is distributed between the two systems. If one system fails, the other system takes over without any interruption in service. This is known as n+n redundancy.

Cisco ACI provides several benefits over traditional data centers, including:

  1. Increased network availability: With n+n redundancy, there is no single point of failure in the network.

  2. Increased network performance: Traffic is distributed evenly between the two systems, providing increased performance and reduced latency.

  3. Simplified network management: Cisco ACI uses a single point of configuration and management, making it easier to manage than traditional data centers.

  4. Lower total cost of ownership: Cisco ACI requires less hardware and fewer licenses than traditional data centers.

  5. Increased flexibility: Cisco ACI can be deployed in a variety of data center topologies, making it more flexible than traditional data centers.

Cisco ACI is the ideal solution for data centers that require high availability, performance, and flexibility.
