The Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) Large (APIC-L2) is a centralized, clustered controller that optimizes performance and unifies operation of physical and virtual environments for the Cisco ACI fabric. It is the unified point of automation and management for the Cisco ACI fabric, policy enforcement, and health monitoring. The APIC-L2 configuration is generally for large deployments (more than 1000 edge ports) and comes as a rack-mountable server with large CPU, hard drive, and memory configurations. Key features include application-centric network policies, data-model-based declarative provisioning, application and topology monitoring, and fault/event/performance management. A minimum of three appliances are typically configured in a cluster for control of the scale-out Cisco ACI fabric.
