CliQr, the leading enterprise cloud management platform provider, announces that its
CloudCenter solution has successfully achieved Cisco compatibility certification with Cisco
Application Centric Infrastructure
(ACI). Software-defined networking (SDN) is redefining data center
management to deliver unprecedented levels of speed, efficiency and
security. As a member of the Cisco Solution Partner Program, CliQr can
quickly create and deploy solutions that enhance Cisco ACI capabilities,
performance and management so customers can realize the value of SDN.
CliQr CloudCenter facilitates the profiling of both newly
developed or existing applications leading to the ability to automate
deployment and management of the full application stack, the underlying
infrastructure and the ACI policy objects -- all from a single
management platform. Based on application requirements, CloudCenter
creates, instantiates and destroys policy objects through the Cisco
Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) application program
interfaces without scripting or any user intervention. Customers benefit
from self-service deployment of existing or new multi-tier applications
that can include micro-segmented network security with tiers deployed
in single-site or multi-site stretched-fabric topologies. This level of
programmatic network configuration is a stark contrast to
legacy-generation manual processes, and it enables accelerated
application deployment that maximizes security and IT efficiency.
"CliQr's application-centric management platform is uniquely
suited to work with Cisco ACI, and we are pleased to achieve the 'Cisco
Compatible' designation that indicates the ease of integration and level
of service we can provide to customers," says Gaurav Manglik,
co-founder and CEO at CliQr. "Application-centric management coupled
with application-centric infrastructure delivers to customers the full
power and promise of software defined networking."
The Cisco Solution Partner Program, part of the Cisco Partner
Ecosystem, unites Cisco with third-party independent hardware and
software vendors to deliver integrated solutions to joint customers. As a
Solution Partner, CliQr offers a complementary product offering and has
started to collaborate with Cisco to meet the needs of joint customers.
