Come to this session to hear about the DevNet Sandbox and how it can accelerate your product development and reduce IVT costs! DevNet Sandboxes are an easy to use, cost-effective alternative to building out your own hardware lab and testing environment for many applications integrating with Cisco Technologies. All DevNet members have access to our sandbox labs for development, internal testing and in some cases IVT!. In this session you will learn about technologies offered, lab features and our roadmap for new labs and IVT programs.

Agenda

5. 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.

6. 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.
And when a product is ready for Compatibility Testing, Sandbox offers self-
driven IVT in order to obtain a Compatibility Logo.

7. • 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

9. Lab Models

10. Sandbox Lab Models
Shared Environment with limited
functionality. No admin privileges, no 3rd
party applications. Generally used for
learning, endpoint/client connections, or
basic REST calls.

Learning, Development, and unit Testing
Always On Lab
Private Environment with
full functionality. Hardware or Software
VPN access and admin privileges to
all/most devices.
Best For:

13. Sandbox IVT – Putting
You in the Driver’s Seat!

14. Sandbox IVT
• Reduce out of pocket costs to partners
• Test Automation supports repeatability and efficiency
• Increased testing efficiency due to partner product knowledge
• Faster time to market with Cisco Compatibility Certification by eliminating 3rd
party lab business transaction process and queue of other work
• Provided as a choice. Program members will still have access to authorized 3rd
party labs if services are preferred.

15. Sandbox IVT – How it Works
• Self Driven IVT
• Partner engineer executes the test in the DevNet Sandbox
• Sandbox IVT lab is based on identical criteria as our authorized 3rd party labs
• Labs are paid for and reserved for specific periods of time – test is executed in
a contiguous fashion over 3 to 7 days
• Labs have workflows automating as much as possible for efficiency and
simplicity
• Data is collected throughout the test and validated when test is complete and
submitted to Cisco

16. Sandbox IVT – Technologies Available Today
• Collaboration: Call Accounting and Billing
• Collaboration: Voice Recording
• Collaboration: Endpoints, Headsets and Cameras
• Collaboration: Operator/Attendant Consoles
