Hi There,

 

One of our customer would like to check, if the Cisco Prime Infrastructure can be hosted in a Cloud environment to run? I.e like in a  AWS or Microsoft Azure platform?

Prime Infrastructure requires a VMware ESXi host server (or a Cisco hardware appliance) in order for you to install it in the first place.

You cannot install it on a generic Linux instance as it comes as a packaged OVA (Open virtual Appliance) file that has it's own customized and hardened Linux (based on RHEL) built-in.

Hello Marvin and all, It will be very helpful if you can answer my below query

 

Do we have that feasibility now to install Cisco Prime Infrastructure v3.7 or latest on Cloud (Microsoft Azure)?

 

if yes, can you share any link where Cisco documented it as possible?

 - Following up on Marvins'-reply :  - You need at least a supported hypervisor ; check release notes or data sheet(s) for more info ; besides that ; it may loose it's affinity with the Intranet as important events  or alarms could get lost between the clouded-Prime and core-switches (e.g.). More fundamental , if the Intranet is business-critical you need to rely on a local-prime instance (probably) to be able to perform critical managerial tasks at all times.
