SDNCentral DemoFriday - Demonstration of Cisco ACI Presentaion Slide Deck ********************************* Watch the full webcast at: https://www.sdncentral.com/watch-cisco-aci-demofriday/ ********************************* See Policy-Driven Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) and the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) in action! This hands-on demo shows how Cisco APIC simplifies and automates your network infrastructure. ********************************* For more details on Cisco ACI download Lippis Research Paper: Cisco Preps ACI for General Availability: What to Expect One of the biggest networking events this August is the general availability of Cisco’s ACI or Application Centric Infrastructure. Cisco has been shipping its Nexus 9000 series of switches in what is called “standalone mode,” which is an ultra-fast data center Ethernet switch, since November 2013. As part of the Nexus 9000 release that these switches can be deployed in what it calls “ACI fabric mode.” ACI fabric mode promises to reduce operational cost, increase agility and link applications to network infrastructure like never before. The manifestation of fabric mode is ACI, and it’s now entering general availability. In this Lippis Report Research Note, we take a look at ACI from a point of view of what it can do for data center architects today. There are three basic building blocks to ACI: 1) a policy model which is an organizing principle for how to group devices into container-like constructs, and describe how they connect, 2) the APIC or Application Policy Infrastructure Controller that provides a single point of management and repository for all described policies and 3) the ACI fabric which is an abstraction of all physical and virtual network devices that make up the ACI fabric. http://www.slideshare.net/Ciscodatacenter/cisco-preps-aci-for-general-availability-what-to-expect-lippis-report

Welcome to SDNCentral DemoFriday™
Today’s demo:
Cisco ACI Enables Fast IT
• Centralized application-level policy engine for physical, virtual, and cloud
infrastructures
• Integration with management systems such as VMware, Microsoft, and OpenStack
• Robust implementation of multi-tenant security, quality of service (QoS), and high
availability
• Automation of network and L4-L7 services
• Designed around open standards and open APIs
• Visibility, telemetry, and health scores by application and by tenant

ACI Layer 4 - 7 Service Integration Centralized, Automated, and Supports Existing Model
• Elastic service insertion architecture for
physical and virtual services
• Helps enable administrative separation
between application tier policy and service
definition
• APIC as central point of network control
with policy coordination
• Automation of service bring-up / tear-down
through programmable interface
• Supports existing operational model when
integrated with existing services
• Service enforcement guaranteed,
regardless of endpoint location
