Industry shifts are redefining IT at all levels. On-premise IT consumption models are shifting to cloud-based services. IaaS is supplanted by applications as a service. Separate development and operations are moving toward integrated DevOps. Device-centric management models are migrating to application-centric management. Business agility requires application agility, so IT teams need to provision applications in hours instead of months. Resources need to scale up (or down) in minutes, not hours. The Cisco Nexus 9332C ACI Spine switch addresses theses industry challenges.
