Application Deployment Guides

Application deployment guides detail how specific third-party applications interoperate within a Cisco network environment. Featured applications have undergone interoperability testing with the existing recommendations of Cisco Validated Design Guides.

To qualify as an Application Deployment Guide, the design must meet the following criteria:

  • Products that are incorporated in the design and are generally available
  • Provide guidance for the deployment, operation, and management of components within the system
  • The Application Deployment Guide has been validated through system-level testing. This level of testing:
    • Validates the interoperability of the application within a specific Cisco network deployment scenario
    • Is generally focused on key technology or products integrated as a system
    • Ensures the viability of theoretical designs or concepts
  • A detailed application deployment guide is available that provides:
    • Customer with examples that define the problems solved by the design
    • A list of products that were validated as part of the application design testing
    • A list of software features that was used for each component of the design
    • Configurations used to support the design tests
    • Design limitations that were uncovered during the testing

Where the customer network requirements extend beyond the scope of a Cisco Validated Design, Cisco Advanced Services can provide additional services in support of your specific requirements. Refer to Cisco Lifecycle Services.
