D. Cisco IWAN
Right
I mean Cisco APIC
C. Cisco APIC is the correct answer.
According to Cisco’s own documentation, the correct answer is the Cisco APIC.
“The infrastructure controller is the main architectural component of the Cisco ACI solution. It is the unified point of automation and management for the Cisco ACI fabric, policy enforcement, and health monitoring. The APIC appliance is a centralized, clustered controller that optimizes performance and unifies operation of physical and virtual environments. The controller manages and operates a scalable multitenant Cisco ACI fabric.”
ACI is just the architecture, APIC is the management system in that architecture
Right
C should be correct. Here is some short text from cisco:
Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) – The APIC is considered to be the brains of the ACI architecture. APIC is a centralized software controller that manages and operates a scalable ACI clustered fabric. It is designed for programmability and centralized management. It translates application policies into network programming.
Question is about what is the system for centralized management. I believe it is Cisco APIC.
The Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (Cisco APIC) is the unifying point of automation and management for the Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) fabric.
C is correct answer
ACI is actually the name of Cisco’s SDN solution. The “component” of ACI that is the centralized controller (manager) is Cisco APIC. So I believe the correct answer should be C.
