Data Centre Fabric & ACI

Pre-requisites:

  • Access to client environment or secure laptop provided

  • Scoping call with Ideal Paradigm

  • Discovery session (if required, based on complexity)

Service Overview:

Our data centre fabric and Cisco ACI services enable scalable, policy-driven networks built for modern workloads. Whether you’re transitioning from traditional three-tier to spine-leaf or adopting application-centric infrastructure, we design and deploy fabric architectures optimised for performance, segmentation, and automation.

What We Deliver:

  • Spine-leaf architecture planning and design aligned to workload types

  • Cisco ACI fabric deployment, APIC configuration, and policy modelling

  • Integration with hypervisors, firewalls, and L4–L7 service insertion

  • Tenant, VRF, and EPG design to isolate workloads and enforce intent

  • Migration planning from legacy data centre networks to fabric models

  • Performance tuning and fault domain mapping for high availability

  • Ongoing support and training on operationalising ACI environments

Getting Started:

  1. Schedule a scoping call to understand your current data centre landscape and goals

  2. Grant access to your environment or provide a secured laptop

  3. We assess topology requirements and design fabric or ACI constructs

  4. Deploy configurations, validate policy enforcement, and test end-to-end flow

  5. Sign off the work to ensure expectations were met and exceeded
