  • What is Cisco ACI?

    Cisco® Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™) is a Software-Defined Networking (SND) solution. It integrates software and hardware into a common infrastructure, unifying your management framework for network, application, security, and virtualization.

    This type of architecture simplifies the communication path between your applications and servers, accelerating deployment and optimizing network performance.

  • What benefits does Cisco ACI provide?

    Apart from a more efficient network, Cisco ACI provides the flexibility to scale up or scale down your load according to your current IT needs. It enables automation, allowing you to offload simpler functions into the cloud. ACI is also equipped with end-to-end security to protect your network.

  • How is security ensured in cloud infrastructures?

    Cisco ACI has a three-pronged security measure:

    • Visibility: lets you see all the users and devices that access the cloud, so you can identify whether the traffic is malicious or not
    • Segmentation: prevents attackers from moving laterally across the network by isolating workloads from one another and securing them individually
    • Multi-layered threat protection: identifies threats to quickly prevent data theft and disruptions of operations
