- Unified platform
- Network automation
- Modern microservices architecture
Cisco Application Services Engine is one platform that is designed to host multiple insights and operations applications. Customers now can provision one appliance cluster to run various applications simultaneously instead of having to manage independent appliance clusters. Microservices' based applications such as Cisco Network Insights can now enjoy the benefits of "zero-touch" network automation. Based on powerful compute hardware, the cluster comprises three initial nodes. Each node is powered with 20 cores, 9.6TB of HDD, 256G memory, and 1.6TB of NVME SSD. Nodes can be added to the initial cluster to power additional application needs.
