Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) is a data center architecture that allows users to design, automate, and manage their data center networks in a more flexible and scalable way. ACI is designed to support modern applications and services that require high levels of agility, security, and automation.
At its core, ACI uses a policy-based approach to networking, where users define network policies that specify how different devices and applications should communicate with each other. These policies are then automatically enforced across the entire data center network, using hardware-based programmability and software-defined networking (SDN) technologies.
ACI also includes a range of features and tools to help users automate and manage their data center networks, including:
