Description: 

This session will discuss best practices for design and deployment of Tetration coupled with ACI.

We will focus on the following:

1. Leverage Network Telemetry and contextual information for application dependency mapping to help customers migrate from a black list model to a true zero trust/whitelist model.

2. Help you understand how to migrate from a network-centric to an application-centric ACI deployment.

3. Highlight how to use ACI for coarse grain policy and Tetration enforcement for fine grain policy enforced within the individual server hosts.

4. Highlight how to provide a single source of truth for policy discovery, enforcement and audit/compliance.

5. Leverage Tetration NPMD capabilties with ACI FX based fabrics for granular network performance troubleshooting correlated to flow data.
