A mai világban a vállalkozások egyre nagyobb nyomás alatt vannak, hogy növeljék az informatikai hatékonyságot, rugalmasságot, hogy új innovatív technológiákat használjanak az ügyfelek igényeinek, a versenypiac elvárásainak való megfelelés végett. E célok elérése érdekében a vállalkozások különböző infrastruktúra-környezeteket választanak, döntenek a privát felhő vagy a nyilvános felhő között. Szerencsére ma már nem szükséges kizárólagosan eldönteni, van mód mindkét környezet előnyeit használni egy hibrid felhőben. Hibrid felhőkörnyezetben is komoly kihívást jelent a homogén vállalati működési modell fenntartása, a vállalati biztonsági irányelvek betartása és a hibrid környezetek szinkronizálása. Az alkalmazások fejlesztői továbbra is feszegetik az infrastruktúra határait az újítások ösztönzése érdekében. A Cisco Cloud Application Centric Infrastructure (Cisco Cloud ACI) egy átfogó megoldás, amely egyszerűsített műveleteket, következetes házirend-kezelést és láthatóságot biztosít több helyszíni adatközpontban, nyilvános felhőben vagy hibrid felhőkörnyezetben. A Cisco Cloud ACI lehetővé teszi, hogy a Cisco ACI ™ szolgáltatással a helyszíni adatközpontjaikban az ügyfelek kiterjesszék a Cisco ACI irányelveit a nyilvános felhőkre is. Az alábbi videóban látjuk, hogy a Cisco ACI és a Microsoft Azure integráció hogyan teszi lehetővé az ügyfelek számára a munkaterhelés zökkenőmentes telepítését a Microsoft Azure-ban úgy, hogy a nyilvános felhő a már meglévő helyszíni adatközpont puszta kiterjesztéseként jelenik meg.
