Cisco Application Infrastructure Controller (APIC) enables Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). APIC provides network abstraction and automation for WAN and access domains as part of the Cisco ONE platform, broadening its capabilities beyond the data center. The Cisco ONE Enterprise Networks Architecture uses APIC as its control layer to simplify configuration and provisioning of networks for the application economy through programmability and automation of network configuration.

1. Cisco Application Infrastracture
Controller (APIC)


It’s enables Application Centric Infrastracture (ACI).
Cisco APIC from the data center to the WAN and Access domains with Cisco
APIC.

This broadens Cisco APIC to provide network abstraction and automation
for WAN and access as part of the Cisco ONE platform.


APIC was the strong proof-point of ACI with SDN (Software Defined Netorking)
With it’s Control layer the Cisco One Enterprise Networks Architecture

2. Network Element Layer
• Industry-leading,most widely deployed, Cisco
IOS Software and programmable Cisco
application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)
• Support for the open APIs Openflow and
onePK
• CLI as a programmable API so that both new
and existing deployments can be supported by
the Cisco ONE Enterprise Networks
Architecturte

3. Increase Business Opportunities
through:
• BYOD and Mobility
• Managed Cloud Services
• Optimal Application experiences
• Connected mobile experiences
• IT simplicity and Programmability

8. • Thank you!!!

9. Cisco ONE Enterprise Networks
Architecture
• Is the network control Layer of Application
Policy Infrastracture Controller.
• This simplifies configuration and provisioning
of Networks for Application Economy.
• Through programmability,this automates
network Configuration and can enable IT to
rapidly respond to new business opportunities
• This controller optimally provisions services,
such as, Security,Quality of Service (QoS),
path optimization.

10. Security
• Cisco Identity Services Engine(ISE).
• It automates and simplifies accesss control
and security compliance for wired, wireless,
and VPN connectivity

11. Quality of Service
• A communication networks forms the backbone of any successful
organization.
• Transport a multitude applications and data, including high-quality
video and delay-sensitive data such as real-time voice.
• The bandwidth-intensive applications stretch network capabilities
and resources, but also complement, add value, and enhance every
business process.
• Networks must provide secure, predictable, measurable, and
sometimes guaranteed services.
• Achieving the required QoS by managing the delay, delay
variation(jitter), bandwidth, and packet loss parameters on a
network becomes the secret to a successful end-to-end business
solution.
• QoS is a set of techniques to manage network resources.

12. WAN path Optimization
• IT use the growth demands of branch office
and can do this without compomising
performance, reliability or security.

13. BYOD and Mobility
The cisco BYOD Smart Solution provides a comprehensive approach to
effectively design, manage, and control the access of a bring-your-owndevice(BYOD) network.
This BYOD solution also provides the necessary, infrastracture, including
•
•
•
•
•
Access points
Controllers
Security
Network Management
Mobile Collaboration Applications

14. Managed Cloud Services
• An optimized experience that increase
resource utilization and realibility.
• Cloud security that protects business assets
and meets compliance requirements.
• Simplified operations for process efficiency,
accelarated deployment, and lower costs.

15. Optimal Application experience
• Deliver business applications faster
• Reduce bandwidth costs and latency by more
than 50 percent
• Simplify IT management

16. Connected mobile experience
• Wi-fi has always enabled faster, mobile
network connectivity to make internal
processes more efficient.
• Can use it as a tool to more effectively engage
your customers, provide the right content at
the right time, and generate revenue.

17. IT Simplicity and programmability
• Cisco Open Network Environment(ONE) ia a
comprehensive solution to help networks
become more open, programmable, and
application-aware.
• The broad capabilities of Cisco ONE help meet
the needs of numerous market segments,
including emerging concepts such as Software
Defined Networking(SDN).
