Gaining flexible control
Using the automation and programming capabilities of Cisco Nexus 9000
Series Switches, Shutterfly gained flexible control of its underlying network
infrastructure.

“Provisioning tasks that used to take 3 to 4 person hours are now automated,
saving approximately $400 each time,” says Jeremy Franzen, director of
Network Operations. “Mean times to detection and resolution have been
reduced, helping us keep the site available and performing well.”

“To maintain a great customer experience, we needed to replace legacy
switches with a new standard that could enable automation and zero-touch
provisioning,” says Arslan Munir, director of Cloud Engineering at Shutterfly.
“We needed consistent network building blocks, so we could scale easily
and provide excellent application performance to our millions of users.”
