Cisco Validated Designs

Cisco Validated Designs consist of systems and solutions that are developed, tested, and documented to facilitate faster, more reliable, and more predictable deployments. Cisco Validated Designs are documented in three formats: Design Guides, System Assurance Guides, and Application Deployment Guides.

Design Guides

Design guides are comprehensive, technical deployment or implementation guides.
