Cisco ACI : The (Almost) Complete List of Social Media Assets

Wow ! The Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) Launch was one of these amazing events which can only rejoice a social media leader like me .
13K+ registants for the webcast ! A Twitter storm (#ACI, #Insieme) Over 4000 mentions in a few hours ! A blog editorial plan including so far more than 10 Cisco blogs, 15 Technology partners blogs , and numerous articles from 3rd party, analysts and journalists – A festival of videos, podcast, broadcast and infographics.

On the top of that I am pleased to welcome Cisco ACI a fast growing and independent LinkedIn group – And I’d like to thank over 5500 professionals who already follow our brand new Cisco Data Center page on LinkedIn !
These series of facts show us how much interest our customers and partners find in this breakthrough vision and products announcement . So I figured out that a “little ” list of what’s available now will not hurt anybody !

This blog is designed to grow over the time thanks to your contribution – So please feel free to post a comment with links (blogs, video, infographics , slideshare deck ) that I could have missed – Or simply tell us what blog(s) or video(s) inspired you the most and why . And don’t hesitate to follow me @drombaut to make sure that I promote your suggestions:)

And ..voila ! First iteration !
