We are a technical services company and this is one of the solutions that we use to support our clients. We provide a hybrid cloud for our customers, so we have four data centers and we have implemented Cisco FabricPath ourselves. We provide managed services for infrastructure, storage, Wi-Fi, etc.
FabricPath is used in the network infrastructure of our hybrid cloud.
The most valuable feature is the ability to migrate VMs between data centers.
I would like to see better interoperability with other IT solutions.
More support staff are required to support Cisco solutions in Italy.
I have been using this solution for about five years.
We have not had any issues with stability.
This is a scalable solution. We have approximately six hundred users who utilize the servers that are part of FabricPath in our company.
We have perhaps one hundred VMware servers, another hundred Hyper-V servers, and two hundred storage devices connected to FabricPath in our data centers.
I am not very happy with the technical support in Italy because they do not have enough people supporting this channel. There are only three of them. Vendors of other products are better represented in the area.
Five or six years ago we had a solution with Blade server. This used to be shared with the customer. We kept the structure and expanded our data center using FabricPath.
We have a complex network design, so our initial setup of FabricPath was complex.
It took approximately one year, starting with our first data center, to deploy this solution. We also enlarged our infrastructure about two years ago.
We implemented this solution using our own in-house team. We have approximately one hundred Cisco certified technicians.
Since 2019, I have been part of the pre-sales team. I have been certified by Cisco for twenty years. I am a CCNP Network Specialist for Routing and Switching, for Security, and I have certification for CCDP Design. I also have other minor certifications including Aruba ACSP.
FabricPath is a very good technology, but we can always do better.
I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
