The Cisco Nexus Dashboard Platform physical appliance previously known as the Application Services Engine is designed to support the Cisco Nexus Dashboard. Refer to the Cisco Nexus Dashboard datasheet.

The Cisco Nexus Dashboard is a unified automation platform that hosts powerful day-2 operations applications, such as Cisco Nexus Insights, Cisco Network Assurance Engine (NAE) and Cisco Multi-Site Orchestrator (MSO).

Product overview

Cisco Application Services Engine is based on powerful compute hardware. The minimum cluster size comprises of three nodes. Each node is powered with 20 cores, 9.6TB of HDD, 256G memory, and 1.6TB of NVME SSD. Nodes can be added to the initial cluster to power additional application needs.

Features and benefits

Table 1.        Cisco Nexus Dashboard physical platform features and benefits

Feature

Benefit

Network automation

  Touchless bootstrap of cluster nodes.

Scale-out architecture

  As application needs grow, simply add more cluster nodes to meet demand.
  Cluster architecture provides high availability and resiliency for applications.

Powerful performance hardware

  Each node has powerful hardware to deliver maximum scale and performance for the applications the cluster is hosting.

Unified platform

  A single Cisco Nexus Dashboard cluster based on the Cisco Application Services Engine can host all insights and assurance applications and potentially other applications in the future (including Cisco Multi-Site Orchestrator [MSO] and Cisco Network Assurance Engine).
