Cisco IT faced several challenges, including the need to improve network visibility and service assurance, accelerate anomaly detection and troubleshooting, consolidate IT toolsets, and reduce operational costs. Managing 10 network fabrics across five data centers made it difficult to obtain a comprehensive view of network activities.

The Cisco Nexus Dashboard provided a unified operations toolset that correlated infrastructure insights, reducing the time spent switching between monitoring tools by 50 percent. It also cut correlation efforts by 40 to 50 percent and accelerated mean time to detect (MTTD) by 30 percent, allowing for more proactive and predictive IT operations.

Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights offered a consolidated view of network data, significantly changing troubleshooting procedures. It enabled easy correlation of events and anomalies, reducing correlation efforts by 40 to 50 percent. Additionally, it provided real-time insights into endpoint communication, helping to identify issues quickly and expect a 30 percent reduction in mean time to detect (MTTD) for enabled flows.
