CISCO ACI
Application Centric Infrastructure
Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI) is an industry-leading secure, open, and comprehensive Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solution. It radically simplifies, optimizes, and accelerates infrastructure deployment and governance and expedites the application deployment lifecycle.
Cisco ACI delivers an intent-based networking framework to enable agility in the data center. It captures higher-level business and user intent in the form of a policy and translates this intent into the network constructs necessary to dynamically provision the network, security, and infrastructure services.
Cisco ACI uses a holistic systems-based approach, with tight integration between hardware and software and physical and virtual elements, an open ecosystem model, and innovative Cisco customer Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to enable unique business value for modern data centers.
This unique approach uses a common policy-based operating model across the network, drastically reducing the cost and complexity of operating your network.
Why ACI:
Features | Features |
---|---|
Optimize your network | ● Operational simplicity, with common policy, management, and operation models across application, network, and security resources ● A flexible and yet highly available network that allows agile application deployment within a site, across sites, and across global data centers while removing the need for complex Data Center Interconnect (DCI) infrastructure ● Centralized network management and visibility with full automation and real-time network health monitoring ● Seamless integration of underlay and overlay ● Open northbound APIs to provide flexibility for DevOps teams and ecosystem partner integration ● A cloud-ready SDN solution ● Common platform for managing physical and virtual environments |
Protect your business | ● Business continuity and disaster recovery ● Secure networking with a zero-trust security model and innovative security features such as microsegmentation ● Security at cloud scale, accelerated by hardware |
Accelerate path to multi-cloud performance | ● Single policy and seamless connectivity across any data center and public cloud ● Any hypervisor, any workload, any location, any cloud ● Cloud automation enabled by integration with vRealize, AzurePack, OpenStack, OpenShift, Kubernetes, and Cisco UCS Director |

Student Success Feedback
- Cisco’s ACI delivers centralized application-driven policy automation and management of, and visibility into, both physical and virtual environments as a single system. It is optimized to support an “application anywhere” model, with complete freedom of application movement and placement.
- This novel approach empowers IT teams to offer cloud-based services to their customers directly, with the associated service-level agreements (SLAs) and performance requirements for the most demanding business applications.
- The primary components of ACI will include a centralized fabric controller, the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (Cisco APIC); ACI-ready networking switches (for example, the new Cisco Nexus® 9000 Series Switches); and a rich set of ecosystem elements made possible by an open approach.
- The ACI approach is built on open principles with an emphasis on open and published APIs, open source, open standards, and an open ecosystem model with the intent to facilitate integration with a heterogeneous, multivendor data center environment.
