A customer has asked you to provide a Nutanix solution for VMware that includes Aruba...

To meet the requirement of managing and provisioning Aruba networking directly from the VMware vCenter interface, the architect must include Aruba Fabric Composer (AFC) in the solution. Aruba Fabric Composer is an intelligent, API-driven software-defined networking (SDN) orchestration tool designed to simplify and automate leaf-spine network fabric provisioning and operations. It features deep integration with VMware ecosystems, allowing virtualization administrators to gain end-to-end visibility and perform network configuration tasks without leaving the vCenter console. This integration automates the discovery of virtual machines and hosts, and can automatically apply the necessary network policies and VLAN configurations to the Aruba 8325 switches whenever a new VM is provisioned or moved. This " single pane of glass " management approach significantly reduces operational complexity, minimizes human error, and accelerates the deployment of hyperconverged or virtualized workloads by aligning network resources with the compute layer.
