Cisco APIC - SDN Jobs

Cisco's Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC):

The Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) Enterprise Module (formerly the Cisco ONE Enterprise Network Controller) masks network complexity and exposes network intelligence. It provides massively simplified configuration, provisioning and policy management, and delivers SDN beyond just switches and flow management. It enables innovation with an open and programmable approach to the deployment of network-wide security, routing path optimization, and QoS solutions. The Cisco APIC Enterprise Module solves the most pressing, complex, and tedious IT problems while simplifying enterprise networks for the next generation of IT. Built to manage Cisco's Catalyst, ISR, and ASR portfolio, it is designed to protect customers' existing network infrastructure investment.

Feature Highlights

• Software that runs on any x86 server, offered as software or an appliance
• High degree of openness
  • Built on the open source OpenDaylight Controller architecture
  • APIs: REST, OSGI, onePK, CLI, OpenFlow
• Advanced GUI with no programming skills required
• Integrated analytics, policy and network abstraction

Benefits

• Massively simplified configuration and provisioning automates the deployment and compliance checking of network policies across the entire network.
• Investment Protection No rip-and-replace-it works with the existing network infrastructure, so no new hardware is required
• Open, Programmable, Customizable Based on the OpenDaylight Controller architecture, the open APIs (RESTful and OSGI APIs) enable 3rd party software developers to create innovative network services and applications.
• Business Policy to Network Configuration Auto-translates business policy into device level policy and enables policy enforcement across the entire network 

The SDN team has multiple positions for Java and Javascript/UI Engineers at our San Jose, Ca. campus.
