• Speaking of f5, as part of ACI they’ve announced support or compatibility between it and the f5 Synthesis “SDAS” architecture. Thankfully there is some kind of “detail” in the form of a solution overview. I really want to start seeing more technical detail though, but I have a feeling this is all way to new and it just doesn’t exist.

 

 

  • Thankfully SDN Central again rides to the rescue with some more background and detail on Insieme/Nexus 9k. This looks to be another one of those attempts by Cisco to short-circuit their seemingly bizarre internal politics where each BU have their knives out for the competition and each other. I wonder how many more of these spin-ins Cisco can really do before customers start questioning all the new non-compatible architectures that each one brings.
