Cisco Cloud ACI allows customers running Cisco ACI ™ in their on-premises data centers to extend their Cisco ACI policies to public clouds. Cisco Cloud Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco Cloud ACI) is a comprehensive solution that provides simplified operations, consistent policy management and visibility across multiple on-premises data centers and public clouds or hybrid cloud environments. However, in a hybrid cloud environment it is becoming more and more challenging to maintain a homogeneous enterprise operational model, comply with corporate security policies, and gain visibility across hybrid environments. In fact, hybrid cloud is becoming the new normal for many businesses. Some applications may be best suited to be hosted on-premises, whereas other applications may be best suited to be hosted in a public cloud, and yet others may benefit from hybrid deployments. To achieve these goals, businesses are choosing different infrastructure environments for deploying different types of applications.

In today’s world, enterprises are undergoing increasing pressure to innovate rapidly, to keep up with competition and to increase IT agility to meet customer demands.
