Accelerate Your IT Tasks with Open NX-OS

(Live Webinar December 10, 2015 at 12:00 pm Pacific Time / 3:00 pm Eastern Time)

In dynamic data centers, network IT teams are required to respond quickly to support business needs. The current way of doing things might not be sufficient, especially in DevOps environments. In this interactive 60-minute webinar, we’ll look at the pillars of Open NX-OS and how they allow IT to manage the network the same way as Linux servers and integrate with existing tools and processes. Content management tools used in the server world such Puppet are now enabled in Cisco Nexus platforms through Open NX-OS. As we look at specific IT use cases, we’ll see how Open NX-OS capabilities along with Puppet integration will transform the way things are done today in a highly efficient manner.
