Pulsant built its SDN architecture with Cisco and F5. Martin Lipka, Pulsant Director of Network Strategy talks with Cisco's Shashi Kiran and explains his views on SDN and why Cisco and F5 have been deployed in Pulsant's architecture. He explains how ACI has simplified his architecture, improved business operations and cut provisioning time to minutes. Integrating F5’s L4-7 services gives him the best of both and discusses how the two models (F5/Cisco) complement each other.
