CISCO ACI AND CliQr: BETTER TOGETHER

Cisco ACI and CliQr provide an elastic
network with an orchestration engine that
shares the same application-centric policies
With Cisco ACI and CliQr, customers can

create dynamic security control with access
control lists (ACLs) and firewalls
With Cisco ACI and CliQr, customers do not

need to reenter IP addresses, ensure that
enough VLANs are allocated to the workloads,
etc., focusing instead on older, traditional
networking workloads
