Differences between APIC-EM and Prime Infrastructure 3.0

Hello Friends,

 

I am doing some research with respect to APIC-EM and Prime Infrastructure. I understand that both offer plug and play services as well as API programmability. Also from what I have read gives me the understanding that PI 3.0 is built upon APIC-EM in the sense that it uses the APIC-EM controller to facilitate its PnP service. Is this valid to say? Also if this is true, what is the true difference between both and what is the value of APIC-EM if Prime Infrastructure somewhat covers the major scope of what the average network administrator desires?

In other words, If I am investing in Prime Infrastructure, why should I also invest in APIC-EM? Does APIC-EM provide capabilities that cannot be achieved using PI?

 

 

Regards,
Lawrence Keston Henderson
