Description

The APIC-CLUSTER-M4 is a bundle of three APIC-M4 medium-size controller appliances from the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller range. Together they form the minimum cluster needed to manage and automate a Cisco ACI fabric, and this medium configuration is built for small-to-medium data centre fabrics of up to 1200 edge ports.

Each APIC-M4 node is a 1RU rack server with one AMD 7313P 3.0GHz 16-core CPU, six 16GB DDR4-3200 RDIMMs and a pair of enterprise SATA SSDs (480GB and 960GB). Each node has a single power supply, 1050W (AC and DC) or 1600W, with eight hot-swappable fans and front-to-rear airflow. PCIe slots can be fitted with an Intel E810XXVDA2 2x25/10GbE SFP28 or Intel X710T2LG 2x10GbE RJ45 NIC.

The cluster manages ACI fabrics built on Cisco Nexus 9000 Series spine and leaf switches in ACI mode, and can coexist with virtual APICs in hybrid clusters. Fabrics larger than 1200 edge ports need the APIC-CLUSTER-L4.
