Overview

Cisco Application Services Engine provides a common platform for deploying Cisco Data Center applications.

These applications provide real time analytics, visibility and assurance for policy and infrastructure.

The Cisco Application Services Engine server is required for installing and hosting the Cisco Application

Services Engine application.

The server is orderable in the following version:

• SE-CL-L3 — Small form-factor (SFF) drives, with 10-drive backplane. Supports up to 10 2.5-inch

SAS/SATA drives. Drive bays 1 and 2 support NVMe SSDs.

The Cisco Application Services Engine software is pre-installed on the server. It is detected after the server

is connected, installed and powered on. Cisco Application Services Engine app allows you to fully enable the

capabilities of the Cisco Application Services Engine.

Cisco Application Services Engine app can be downloaded from the Cisco DC App Center. See the Cisco

Application Services Engine for more information on downloading and using the app.
