Cisco ACI overview

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 provides policy-driven automation through an integrated underlay and overlay, is hypervisor-agnostic; and extends policy automation to any workload, including virtual machines, physical bare-metal servers, and containers.

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. It 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 custom 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 in operating your network.

Cisco “ACI Anywhere” is a comprehensive solution: with one intent, using any hypervisor, for any workload, in any location, and in any cloud. Cisco “ACI Anywhere” offers a set of capabilities that enable seamless connectivity between an on-premises data center, remote, small-scale data centers, and geographically dispersed multiple data centers under a single-pane-of-policy orchestration. In future, these capabilities will extend to public cloud as well.
