For what does ACI provide a single point of support?

Question

Options

• Aautomation
• Bmanagement
• Corchestration
• Dvisibility

• B
  4% (1)
• D
  96% (26)

Explanation

Cisco ACI (Application Centric Infrastructure) is specifically designed to provide a single point of visibility across the entire network fabric - giving operators a unified, centralized view of all traffic, policies, and health states through the APIC controller dashboard.

• A (automation) is wrong because automation in ACI is a capability it enables, not the single-point-of-support value proposition; automation is typically handled by external tools (Ansible, Terraform) integrating with ACI.
• B (management) is wrong because while ACI's APIC does handle management, Cisco's framing of ACI's unique value is specifically about seeing across the fabric, not just controlling it.
• C (orchestration) is wrong because orchestration (coordinating workloads/resources) is handled by platforms like Kubernetes or VMware, with ACI acting as the network underlay - not the orchestration layer.

Memory tip: Think of ACI's APIC as a surveillance camera system for your data center network - its defining promise is that you can see everything happening across the fabric from one place, which maps directly to visibility (D).
