Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Large Cluster
Brand: Cisco · SKU: APIC-CLUSTER-L3 · MPN: APICCLUSTERL3 · Category: Components
The APIC-CLUSTER-L3 is a bundle of Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controllers (APICs) designed for large-scale Cisco ACI fabric deployments, specifically for those with over 1200 edge ports connecting to ACI. A minimum of three infrastructure controllers are configured in a cluster for control of the scale-out Cisco ACI fabric. The L3 configuration is based on the UCS C220 M5 server generation, featuring increased CPU, memory, and hard drive capacities compared to the M3 models to support higher transaction rates associated with larger fabrics. It functions as the unified point of automation and management for the Cisco ACI fabric, policy enforcement, and health monitoring. The system utilizes a distributed multi-active database across the cluster nodes.
