Preface

Cisco Virtual Managed Services (VMS) solution changes ‘how’ managed services are instantiated by shifting the focus from device configuration to capturing the service designer intent through the use of service models. The decoupling of service design from service instantiation allows service providers the ability to deploy VMS services with the knowledge these services can be extended with future releases without the need of a redesign.
