Moving a bank's data center network to Cisco ACI.

A Dutch bank replaced its classic data center network with a Cisco ACI fabric while every banking service stayed online.

Situation

The existing data center network had grown over many years. Changes needed long maintenance windows, and new application environments took weeks to connect.

Approach

Designed the tenant and policy model, connected the fabric to the existing routing and firewall layers, and migrated application networks in waves with a tested way back for each wave.

Result

Application environments are connected through policy instead of manual configuration, and the operations team works from documented standards.
