Great walkthrough and nice additions to NDI 6.0. In the process of deploying three installations globally, so the addition of “multi-site” ND is surely welcomed
By the way, it requires SEVEN (7) VMs to run this in the new Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (12.x--brand new IOS, DCNM stopped in 11.5). I sat through a demo like this on NDFC and the Cisco SME was apologizing the whole way through. I feel sorry for the dumb Enterprise customers that will pay the $500K for this (software and professional services to install it) and then never even log into it.
Hello Lee. The VMs themselves are free to download. The NDI solution is a license based model per leaf, so it is a pay as you grow approach that can address all sizes of customers.
Also, forgot to add that it is possible to install a reduced scale virtual ND cluster for testing / lab trials. For example, you can have a single app node cluster (yes, one VM) for NDO or NDFC. For NDI, you can install a 3 app-node cluster and test (I think) up to 20-25 leafs. To be clear, this would be for testing and seeing if it meets your needs. For production you must follow the public scale docs for the apps you want to run.

Thanks Lars. You are right indeed! Multi-site checks are there in a very basis sense, but more is coming in the next NDI 6.1 release.
Waiting since long time for this video. Thanks Joseph
Thanks Sajid. I realize I have been slow to upload newer stuff. I'll try to pick up the pace!
@@josephezerski5124 Really appreciated. Please some videos on cloud APIC
