Imagine if you could deploy highly secure new services at web speed
on demand to customers and partners - complete with personalized
capabilities. With this environment you’re creating innovative new
services in minutes, not months, accelerating your time-to-revenue
while reducing operational costs on an open platform. You have
pre-packaged software service solutions that help you transform your
business and the businesses of your customers. And you’re letting your
customers use their existing customer premises equipment (CPE), to
connect to virtual services from the cloud, reducing capital costs and
business risk associated with rolling out new services.
It’s all possible with the Cisco Virtual Managed Services Solution based
on the combination of the complementary Cisco Evolved Programmable
Network (EPN) and the Cisco Evolved Services Platform (ESP). This
open infrastructure and software combined with industry leading
service orchestration, software-defined networking (SDN), and network
functions virtualization (NFV) technologies automate the delivery of
business services tailored to your customers from the cloud.
With the Cisco Virtual Managed Services Solution, a rich set of secure
cloud-based network services are enabled via pre-packaged software
capabilities over any access technology, illustrated in Figure 1, including:
• Cloud VPN, including automated and flexible delivery of secure virtual
private network (VPN) and internet access services, complemented
with an open, modular set of firewall, network address translation
(NAT), intrusion protection, content filtering, and Web and email
security applications.
• Cloud Security, including open, modular delivery of hosted firewall,
NAT, intrusion protection, content filtering, Web and email security
applications that your business customers access via your wide-area
network (WAN) and data center interconnect (DCI) infrastructure.
These pre-packaged software solutions allow you to serve your
customer better by offering them a flexible selection of VPN connectivity
and security applications that they can easily customize through a self-
service portal that they can use to create or change their services with
a few clicks. Cisco Virtual Managed Services solution makes it easy for
you to deploy, manage, and sell new premium cloud managed services
to accelerate your revenue growth while reducing your current operating
expenditures (OpEx) by up to 65%, according to a study by ACG
research.
