ndahemmy — Wed, 01 May 2024 14:12:10 GMT

Hello,

Is there any version of Catalyt Center VM designed for Azure cloud?

Is there any Cisco roadmap for this.

If anyone can share any official cisco link with these information I'd appreciate

Thank you

At this time we only support Cisco Catalyst Center VA (Virtual Appliance) on VMware ESXI. There are designs to expand the support to other platforms such as Azure, but at this time that is still being developed.

Any reference on the network bandwidth requirements in case we opt to install Catalyst Center on AWS?

let's say if you want to manage 500 devices

You can find some information on this from the following community post:

Does the BU have a timeline for Catalyst Center in Azure Marketplace. Our architecture requires these types of Management Appliances be installed in Azure. I am challenged with an implementation timeline and budget without a date to target which in turn dashes my approvals required. Since there is DNA Center for SDWAN in Azure, I hoped that this would be somewhat of a public timeline.

But you also support this for AWS as well.

We just want the same functionality for Azure.

Again, as I previously stated in this post, there are plans to open up other platforms for virtualization support, including Azure. At this time however, those options are still in development.

Any update on this for the moment?
Or an estimate off when we can expect it to launch on Azure markeplace?

Thanks in advance!

You should talk to your account manager regarding this @Goosie-Fi. I don't think Cisco will comment on non-confirmed features or timelines in a public forum.

CATC on Azure is coming in version 3.1.5 (not generally available).

Cisco recently published this guide: Cisco Catalyst Center 3.1.5 on Azure Deployment Guide .

As Torbjorn stated, talk to your account team. We are moving Azure to controlled availability (CA) which means your account team can help register you for access on this.
