Cisco Advances Intent-based Networking for Data Center and Private Cloud Environments with New ACI Capabilities

October 2017 by Patrick LEBRETON

Multi-site scalability, container integration and enhanced security features enable
customers to accelerate their multi-cloud journey

Cisco announced updates to its Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco
ACI)<https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solut...> ,(tm) the industry leading Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solution that makes it easier for customers to adopt and advance intent-based networking for their data centers.

With the latest software release (ACI 3.0), more than 4,000 ACI customers can
increase business agility with network automation, simplified management, and
improved security for any combination of workloads in containers, virtual machines
and bare metal for private clouds and on-premise data centers.

The transitions occurring in the data center are substantial. Enterprises experience
an unrelenting need to accelerate speed, flexibility, security and scale across
increasingly complex data centers and multi-cloud environments.

The new ACI 3.0 software release is now available. New features include:

 Multi-site Management: Customers can seamlessly connect and manage multiple
ACI fabrics that are geographically distributed to improve availability by isolating
fault domains, and provide a global view of network policy through a single
management portal. This greatly simplifies disaster recovery and the ability to
scale out applications.

 Kubernetes Integration: Customers can deploy their workloads as
micro-services in containers, define ACI network policy for these through
Kubernetes, and get unified networking constructs for containers, virtual machines,
and bare-metal. This brings the same level of deep integration to containers ACI has
had with numerous hypervisors.

 Improved Operational Flexibility and Visibility: The new Next Gen ACI User
Interface improves usability with new consistent layouts and simplified topology
views, and troubleshooting wizards. In addition, ACI now includes graceful insertion
and removal, support for mixed operating systems and quota management, and latency
measurements across fabric end points for troubleshooting.

 Security: ACI 3.0 delivers new capabilities to protect networks by
mitigating attacks such as IP/MAC spoofing with First Hop Security integration,
automatically authenticating workloads in-band and placing them in trusted security
groups, and support for granular policy enforcement for end points within the same
security group.
