Data Sheet
Cisco Prime Service Catalog
Introduction
Your data center is more closely aligned to your business success than ever before and it touches more aspects of
your business than ever before. In a world where speed is a key to success, you need to deliver applications, data
center, and business services much more quickly and efficiently than ever before. The way you deliver and
manage services must be agile, responsive, and proactive to meet the rapid pace that your business requires.
How you define agility depends on your role within the organization:
●
Project or line of business managers want to order applications using the familiar consumer model of menus
and self-service shopping carts, and they want delivery within minutes.
●
Application developers need automated delivery of standardized infrastructure resources to develop, test,
and deploy applications.
●
End users want to extend automation beyond data center infrastructure to include self-service delivery of IT
workplace services, such as BYOD, mobility, and virtual desktop services.
Automation alone can’t always meet the needs of the consumers of IT resources. What’s needed is a simple way
to more easily order IT business and data center services and track the lifecycle of these services.
