Introduction to aci-vpod-mgmt.15.1.1h.ova Software

This Open Virtual Appliance (OVA) enables centralized management of Cisco ACI Virtual Pod deployments, extending application-centric policies across hybrid cloud environments. Designed for Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) Release 15.1(1h), it supports automated provisioning of virtual networking components in VMware vSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V environments. The solution integrates with Cisco CloudCenter for unified orchestration of physical underlays and virtual overlays in multi-site architectures.
