Hope, fear, and the data center time machine
The document discusses Cisco's vision for application-centric infrastructure (ACI) which provides policy-driven automation across networks, compute, storage and security to enable agility. ACI uses concepts like endpoint groups, policies and profiles to simplify management and deliver applications securely on premises or across hybrid clouds. The document also highlights Cisco technologies that integrate with ACI like Tetration for network analytics, Cisco CloudCenter for hybrid cloud orchestration, and Cisco UCS for converged infrastructure.
