Data Center Interconnectivity

Cisco NDO extends intersite connectivity and network policy segmentation between loosely coupled data centers across multiple geographies, enabling agile deployment where policies and security follow the movement of virtual machines across data centers. In addition, it enhances disaster recovery or active-active use cases spread across multiple sites and locations. Figure 1-13 illustrates data center interconnectivity using Cisco NDO.

Cisco NDO Multidomain Integrations

Large and medium-sized organizations that have adopted a multisite approach to their data centers have experienced performance degradation with unmanaged connections between the separate data centers. To assist customers with managing this, Cisco NDO has been integrated with Cisco’s SD-WAN. Figure 1-14 illustrates multidomain integrations using Cisco NDO.

Hybrid Cloud and Multicloud

Cisco NDO expands networking functions to cloud sites and automates the creation of overlay connectivity between all sites (on-premises and in the public cloud).

As the central orchestrator of intersite policies, Cisco NDO allows for pushing the same policies to multiple data centers and public clouds across the globe in a single step.

Cisco NDO supports Cisco ACI policy extensions to the public cloud (AWS and Azure), allowing for hybrid cloud and multicloud deployments. In both cases, NDO enables automated and secure interconnect provisioning, consistent policy enforcement for on-premises sites and the public cloud, and simplified operations for end-to-end visibility. Figure 1-15 illustrates hybrid cloud and multicloud orchestration using Cisco NDO.
