Cisco ACI Case Study: Alpha TechnologiesConsumer Products
ACI deploys applications within the data center with configuration policy profiles called Application Network Profiles (ANP) that define how the application is to be supported. Features like Quality of Service (QoS), Service Level Agreements (SLA) and Security can be added to the ANP that direct the data center to support and report on the function of the application. ANPs of common applications can be grouped into End Point Groups (EPG)s which can also specify VLAN, IP and port configurations for application. Essentially EPGs create common policies among groups of applications that make application management much easier.
