Having business agility is no longer an option: It’s now a necessity for all organisations. Companies that have an agile business will leapfrog the competition; those that do not risk falling behind quickly. However, a business can only be as agile as the infrastructure that supports it. Therefore, delivering IT agility must be at the top of every IT executive’s priorities today.

There are many ways to deliver IT agility, but many of the methods—such as software overlay models or integrated, proprietary stacks—introduce new challenges and increase management complexity. Cisco’s ACI brings the flexibility of software and marries it with the performance of hardware, creating a simple, flexible deployment model that is critical to enabling IT agility.
