Agenda

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
