only taken the key design principles and the

4. “While you think about SDN, there’s a direct
correlation to the capabilities of SDN in the
marketplace to your ability to embrace the
cloud and yet, most business leaders want to
make sure that they can do it in the least
destructive manner.”

6. “It is important to have the agility, the ability
to have the visibility and to secure their
requirements as they bring all the different IT
silos together into a much more orchestrated
and automated framework. This ability can
bring together this whole model while driving
not only their CapEx but more importantly,
their operational expenses down.”

7. “I think there’s a lot of complexity in bringing
a lot of different solutions together. I think
that’s one of the things ACI brings, is a way to
tie all of the different elements of IT together
to be able to automate tasks. There’s no
question that IT needs to change.”

8. “SDN is finally getting to is the point where,
and certainly ACI addresses this squarely, is
how do you use these principles of
automation, virtualization, and some of the
other value propositions of SDN to actually
make IT provisioning and IT management
faster.”
