In reply to Sirius.

Hi Sirius,
Thanks for your comments. To address your concerns

1. APIC-EM has been in production and shipping since last November. We have over 100+ customers and 1000+ downloads across the globe. This is the first time Cisco submitted APIC-EM 1.1 for best of interop. So I don't think you have your facts correct

2. As to your comment on lack of innovation, as you can see, Cisco has been selected as the finalist in 5 of the categories including SDN, networking, mobility, security, and data center. I think it speaks to our innovation across the board.

Happy to discuss this with you further on this

Cheers
Prashanth
