Why choose Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI)?
Simplified Network Management
Network administrators can centrally and comprehensively manage the network, thereby reducing the time required for network management and minimising the potential for human error.
Enhanced Security
ACI improves security by allowing administrators to enforce security policies consistently across the entire network, making it easier to detect and respond to security threats.
Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Cloud Integration
ACI enables seamless integration with public cloud providers, allowing businesses to extend their network policies and security controls to multi-cloud environments. This consistency ensures a uniform experience across cloud deployments.
Scalability and Performance
ACI's scalable design caters to data centres of varying sizes, from small deployments to large enterprise environments. Delivering optimal performance for modern applications and workloads.
Application Agility and Flexibility
ACI is designed to support the dynamic nature of modern applications. It enables rapid application deployment and scaling, allowing businesses to respond quickly to changing business demands.
ACI Components
ACI is made up of key components that work together to provide its functionality, enabling administrators to easily manage and control their network infrastructure.
- The Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) acts as a centralized management and policy controller for your entire IT infrastructure.
- Spine switches establish fast connectivity between leaf switches, which are responsible for connecting servers and endpoints to the ACI fabric.
- Application Network Profiles (ANPs) contain network connectivity, security policies, and quality of service (QoS) settings for specific applications or groups.
- Endpoints include physical or virtual servers, virtual machines, or devices connected to the ACI fabric.
