If all devices and applications speak the same language, they can begin to communicate. It's about integrating many pieces into a powerful, distributed repository that network elements and applications use to make decisions based upon defined policies. Profiles describe the requirements of entities like users, applications, and other network resources. Policy enables these entities to be controlled in a reliable and consistent manner. Service providers can rapidly create, provision, and deploy advanced networking services on a per-user basis through centralized network management.
Enterprises can dynamically select and control provider services themselves.
In addition, providers can now let users define what they want, when they want it. Integrated with Cisco Configuration Express service, this solution enables self-service for subscribers by giving direct control over their own access policies. Inc. Important Notices and Privacy Statement .
