What is Application Centric Infrastructure ?

ACI is a pre-assembled, integrated hardware and software strategy that enables Cisco to deliver secure, programmable, policy-based agile cloud infrastructure• to deploy heterogeneous applications • to enable business growth.

• Provides a Business architecture• ACI is SDN…but a lot more, ground breaking! • Raises discussion from Infrastructure to the Application

layer• Addresses many of today’s data center challenges• Uses existing data center fiber infrastructure • Requires Organizational preparation• Significantly lowers TCO • Enables Fast IT

Case Study


MDS 9148S: Case study

Shawn Ewing, IT Manager, San Francisco DCYF

“The variety of programs, the number of families we serve, and our grant processes require us to have a storage area network, in which we house 27 terabytes of data, and manage over 400 contracts daily. As a small department within San Francisco City government, our requirements were to start small, have room to grow without replacing equipment, and have a cost-effective solution. With an attractive price and scalability from 12 to 48 ports, Cisco’s MDS 9148S is the ideal fit for our needs, and installation was easy with proven policy-based methodology.”

Business Needs Customer Results

• Scalable platform to support future growth

• Cost-effective, Easy to Manage infrastructure

• Optimize IT services to increase operational efficiency


John Praet, Principal Storage Architect

“The Cisco MDS 9000 Series of products hasbeen extremely stable and consistent over 10 years. We’re confident that the MDS 9710 systems will deliver similar longevity and return on investment— with a lot of flexibility.”.


• Improve SAN switching resiliency and performance

• Support future requirements, including scaling capacity, growing VMs, and potential move to FCoE

• Minimize migration risk and effort

Multi-Hop FCoE: Case study

Dennis Kuehn, Technical Fellow, Boeing

“Our goal is to have a complete private cloud, where we can manage and orchestrate data movement and processing from one site with full reporting and chargeback. And in the near future, we are looking at a second multihop FCoE and a lossless Ethernet to maintain performance rates over both our LAN and WAN environments. Our ongoing relationship with Cisco is key to delivering on our ambitious plans, while staying within a tight budget.”.


• Maintain performance of mission-critical production environment

• Convergence : Run FC and IP across the same interface and maintain high performance

• Scale for future demands

Boeing Defense, Space, and Security Division relies on Cisco to deliver both FCoE and IP over a single, cost-effective infrastructure
