Cisco Nexus One: An Architecture for your Cisco Datacenter of Tomorrow - BRKDCN-2602#

Max Ardica (Cisco)

• Why: Signals how Cisco plans to reconcile its two competing DC architectures (Nexus VXLAN/EVPN and ACI) — relevant strategic context for anyone operating or evaluating either.
• What: Nexus One: a new architecture integrating Nexus VXLAN/EVPN fabrics with ACI, with seamless traffic flow between the two and single-pane management built around automation and orchestration (from abstract only).
• How: Integration layer plus unified management/automation across both architectures.
• Where applicable: Cisco-shop specific and new/unproven; this is architecture direction, not battle-tested deployment. Treat as a roadmap read on vendor convergence strategy.
