Cisco Aci and Ise Integration

Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is a data center architecture that unifies physical, virtual, and application resources to increase data center agility and efficiency. The Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a policy management platform that enables secure access control and profiling of users, devices, and applications.

The integration of ACI and ISE provides a number of benefits, including:

• Improved data center security – ISE provides granular control over user and device access to data center resources, and can enforce security policies across the ACI fabric.

• Increased data center agility – The integration of ACI and ISE simplifies the deployment of new applications and services, and reduces the time and effort required to make changes to existing ones.

• Enhanced operational efficiency – ISE’s centralized policy management interface reduces the need for manual configuration of individual devices, and can be used to automate the enforcement of security policies.

The integration of ACI and ISE provides a number of benefits that can help organizations to improve data center security, agility, and efficiency.
