Cisco ACI uses a holistic systems-based approach, with tight integration between
physical and virtual elements, an open ecosystem model, and innovation-spanning
application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), hardware, and software. This unique
approach uses a common policy-based operating model across ACI-ready network,
and security elements (computing, storage in future), overcoming IT silos and
drastically reducing costs and complexity.
Cisco ACI redefines the power of IT, enabling IT to be more responsive to changing
business and application needs, enhancing agility, and adding business value.
