Yes, Nexus Dashboard is a "platform" that may run multiple services. Currently, the supported services are Orchestrator, Fabric Controller and Insights. Orchestrator - Focuses on Data Center (ACI, NDFC) and Cloud (AWS, Azure, Google) interconnection as well as policy centralization through templates. It is more often used for ACI than NDFC environments since NDFC can also automate multi-fabric configuration natively. Fabric Controller - Manages on-prem switches (Nexus, Catalyst, ASRs, 3rd party) and automates their connections through templates (whether EVPN VXLAN or Classic). It may run as a LAN Controller or SAN Controller. Insights: Processes telemetry from switches and then transform data into actionable insights to minimize downtime, report risk, sustainability and status of the network with a historical approach. Hope this helps!
