An overview of
Virtual Managed Services
(VMS)
What new services do you
want to bring to market?

Cisco VMS
The service creation and delivery platform
for service providers
VMS is a service creation and delivery platform that helps service providers
rapidly and profitably deliver new services to market.

Cisco Virtual Managed Services (VMS)
VMS is a
multi-tenant
multi-vendor
service creation
platform that’s
simply managed
from the Cloud of
your choice.
The focus of this presentation

VMS Cloud Management
The VMS Customer and Operator dashboards
are customizable and provide simplified Cloud
Management of distributed customer sites:
• Self Service Portal
• Services Catalog
• Identity Management
• Mapping Functions
• Service Analytics and Management Displays
• Zero touch Provisioning
• Lifecycle management of physical and virtual assets

The VMS Data Platform provides a rich set of service analytics, notifications, and
operational logs that are easily integrated with existing OSS/BSS systems
VMS Data Platform provides rich Service Analytics

Virtual Functions are simply provisioned and
managed from the VMS Cloud
VMS provides rich analytics for
Virtual Network Functions (VNFs)
deployed on a vBranch or in the Cloud
VMS provides topologies of deployed
VNF Service Chains
VMS provides resource consumption
analytics for virtual services

VMS provides Simplified Cloud Management
VMS Operator/Admin Service
Secure Multi-tenant Cloud management,
Service creation platform for Enterprises & SMBs
VMS Customer Service
Self-service portal for service selection, device
analytics, traffic usage, and service configuration

REST APIs and Software Development Kits
Simple to use, simple to create new VMS Services
• All VMS Services are
configurable via REST
APIs
• New Services can be
created through the
Software Development
Kit (SDK)

Overview of the VMS
Template Development
Environment
Rapidly create new
vBranch Service Templates

VMS Template Development Environment
Rapidly Create a brand new Managed Service in minutes
Create, Edit, Export, and Publish new SP Managed Services in minutes

Five simple steps to create a new
Service Template
1. Provide a Service Template description
2. Upload the Service XML code representing the
service config, and select analytics
3. Create a Service Picture
4. Define Service Parameters
5. Select ENCS (vBranch) options to bundle with
the template

VMS Template Development Environment
Rapidly Create a brand new Managed Service in minutes
Define LAN bridges
Define a package to use
Link elements together
Define data entry fields
Collect data
Define virtual connections
Once the template is created, you can simply publish onto
VMS for customer consumption

Step 1: Describe the new Service Template
User role: SP Service architect or Service Designer
Create a Service Icon
Service Name
Optional Pricing
Service Description

Step 2: Upload XML file and select Service Analytics
User role: SP Service architect or Service Designer
Upload the XML File that
represents the service
config used in the new
template
Select Service
KPIs and
analytics for the
new template

Step 3: Create a simple Service Picture
User role: SP Service Architect or Service Designer
Drag objects from the
pallet to the Service
Pictogram
Label all objects as needed
Edit, move, delete
objects within the
service design as
needed

Step 4: Define the Service Parameters
5 Service Parameters were
automatically extracted
from the XML code file
Service architect defines
each Service parameter
Service architect designs
parameter input screen

Step 5: Select vBranch devices for the template
Select small,
medium, or
large vBranch
devices to
bundle with
the new
service
template

Publish the new Service to VMS
Select your
template and
publish it to VMS
for tenant
consumption
Publish service, topology, and template to NSO
and the VMS platform with the click of a button

New Service is now available in VMS!
From Service Creation to Service Deployment in Minutes!
VMS Operator
portal includes the
new service
template
Select which customers have access to the new Service template

Why do SPs want VMS VNF/SDN Services?
Simplify service activation, management,
and assurance for 1000’s of devices/tenants
More cost effective WAN options with better
performance and greater capacity
Bring up new tenants and services in minutes
Simplify
service creation while
delivering better app
experiences over any
branch connection.
