		VMWare Cloud Foundation VMware Cloud Foundation is the next generation VMware hybrid cloud platform by extending the core hypervisor with integrated software-defined storage, networking and security capabilities that can be consumed flexibly on premises or as a service in the public cloud. With the integrated cloud management capabilities, the end result is a hybrid cloud platform than can span private and public environments, offering a consistent operational model based on well-known vSphere tools and processes.
		VMWare vSphere Foundation VMware’s core virtualization stack that adds the power of the enterprise platform with integrated management and analytics. Accelerate Innovation for DevOps, customer can deploy DevOps services to run workloads with VMs and containers.

		Cisco ACI Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) is a software-defined networking (SDN) solution designed for data centers. Cisco ACI allows network infrastructure to be defined based upon network policies – simplifying, optimizing, and accelerating the application deployment lifecycle. To make this possible Cisco has created the ACI Fabric OS, which is run by all systems within the ACI network. This shared OS makes it possible for the various switches within the ACI network to translate policies into infrastructure designs. A Cisco ACI environment is built with two main components: Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC): APIC is the SDN controller for Cisco ACI. It creates the policies that define the data center’s network infrastructure. Nexus 9000 Switches: Nexus 9000 switches use the ACI Fabric OS to communicate with APIC and create infrastructure based on policies. They can be either Spine (distribution) or Leaf (access) switches. All endpoints, including APICs, connect to the network via Leaf switches. These Leaf switches are connected together using Spine switches in the backend. Using these components, ACI can be deployed under a variety of different models. This includes support for on-site, cloud-based (including public, private, and hybrid clouds), and SD-WAN edge environments. This enables organizations to use policy-based network management throughout their corporate WANs. Key Features and Benefits of ACI : Cisco ACI enables organizations to easily create a software-defined data center, which provides several benefits, including: Flexibility: With a SDN solution like Cisco ACI, all of an organization’s network infrastructure is implemented as code. This makes it easy to update configurations to meet evolving business needs. Consistent Infrastructure: Cisco ACI abstracts away the details of the underlying infrastructure. This makes it easier to design and configure network environments. Automation and Orchestration: Cisco ACI makes heavy use of automation to develop network infrastructure based on network policies. This makes changes easy to make and increases scalability. Support for Hybrid Environments: Cisco ACI supports both on-prem and cloud-based infrastructure, making it possible to deploy ACI environments across multiple different environments.
