TRANSCRIPT
What’s DevNet all about?
We’re all about providing developers with the tools, the resources, and the code you
need to build innovative, network-enabled solutions.
The Sandbox Goal
To enable developers of all types to quickly and easily explore or create solutions, based on or integrated with Cisco technologies -
by providing ready, useful, robust environments (Labs) for their development and testing needs.
What is Sandbox
The DevNet Sandbox is a hosted lab service, designed specifically to enable developers of all types (customers, partners, and ISVs) to:
• Explore
• Experiment
• Integrate
• Develop
• Test
their solutions with Cisco technologies.
• Try Stuff Out: Kick the tires with
new products and Cisco technology.
• Integrate your product with Cisco
technologies without investment in
equipment, space, or technical talent
normally required to build, configure
and maintain a Lab.
• Test to larger scales using our tools.
• Get Early Access to new releases of
Cisco product versions.
• Collaborate across locations by
sharing lab sessions across users.
• Complete IVT: Use your engineering
resources to execute our self-driven
IVT on your time and at reduced cost.
