About Cisco Application Services Engine App

Cisco Application Services Engine provides a common platform for deploying Cisco Data Center applications. These applications provide real time analytics, visibility and assurance for policy and infrastructure.

Cisco Data Center apps are resource intensive applications that rely on modern technology stacks. Cisco Application Services Engine is a purpose-built appliance that can host containerized applications on a common platform.

Cisco Application Services Engine is deployed as a cluster of three service nodes. This clustering provides reliability and high-availability software framework.

Service node - The service node is an appliance that is attached to a network and is capable of creating, receiving, or transmitting information over Cisco ACI fabric.

Cluster - Cluster is the set of connected service nodes and the Cisco APIC servers.

■        New service nodes can be dynamically added without disrupting services from existing apps.

■        Service nodes can be taken out of service for graceful maintenance. Apps can be re-provisioned on other nodes without disrupting service.

■        Cisco Application Services Engine has the ability to operate in deprecated mode when less than 3 in-service nodes are present.

 

 

Hardware Requirements

          This section describes the hardware requirements for the Cisco Application Services Engine app on the Cisco APIC.

■        Use existing APIC cluster (L3/L2).

■        Cisco Application Services Engine hardware (SE-CL-L3).
