Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud is a management and automation solution for private, public, and hybrid compute 
clouds. It provides a self-service experience for cloud end users through a web-based portal, taking service orders, and 
provisioning them through automation and integration with the infrastructure and supporting data center systems.

The solution includes these two primary platform products:

Cisco Prime Service Catalog—the end user facing service catalog and self-service portal

Cisco Process Orchestrator—the provisioning automation and integration platform

There are additional products that are optional. Please see the Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud Installation 
Guide for more information.

Cisco IAC is deployed as a solution that contains a set of preconfigured catalog services, service forms, portal pages and portlets, 
integration adapters, and automation processes.

Deploying the Cisco Intelligent Automation for Cloud solution requires the installation of Cisco Prime Service Catalog and 
Cisco Process Orchestrator, as well as the IAC solution content packages. If bare metal provisioning is required, Cisco Server 
Provisioner must also be installed. This section describes how to deploy the solution using the Cisco Prime Service Catalog for 
the IAC 4.0 Virtual Appliance, the IAC Management Appliance, and the standard installation of the other components.
