What is Cisco Cloud Network Controller for Microsoft Azure?

Cisco Cloud Network Controller provides a holistic solution for Hybrid and Multi Cloud Networking. This solution automates connectivity and segmentation between multiple Cisco Data Center fabrics (ACI and NDFC) and multiple Public Cloud providers (AWS,Azure, Google Cloud). The Cisco Cloud Network Controller runs on Azure Cloud to provide automated connectivity, policy translation, day two operations and enhanced visibility of workloads in the public cloud. This solution brings a suite of capabilities to extend your On-Premises data center into true multi cloud architectures, helping to drive policy and operational consistency, independent of where your applications or data reside. The solution uses the native Azure constructs for policy translation and gives end to end visibility into the customer's multi cloud workloads and connectivity. The solution uses the Cisco Catalyst 8000V as the cloud router for connectivity between On-Premises and Azure Cloud environments. The Cisco Cloud Network Controller also automates the entire lifecycle of the Cisco Catalyst 8000V router, underlay and overlay connectivity, thus enabling easy management and operations.
