The VPN Solutions Center provides extensive open APIs and is pre-integrated into most CSM modules. A service provider who opts to purchase other CSM products extends the value of the VPN Solutions Center and makes CSM modules VPN aware. Value-added additions, such as Cisco Provisioning Center, extend the VPN Solutions Center capability into multivendor environments. For example, Info Center can use these APIs to query which services were affected due to a certain network outage by querying the VPN Solutions Center repository using these open APIs. Cisco Service and Support Service and support for VPN Solutions Center is available as a one-time service or annual maintenance contract.
Support ranges from help-desk assistance to proactive, onsite consultation.
