Configuring and deploying updates to the network has never been easier with the Template Center, which now
incorporates Cisco Smart Business Architecture (SBA) templates that are based upon Cisco Validated Designs,
simplifying platform and technology rollout and reducing the chance for errors. Work Centers provide a single area
where guided workflows give step-by-step instructions to help operators quickly provision, monitor, and manage
new Cisco value-added technologies and solutions, such as medianet, EnergyWise, TrustSec/Identity, Auto
Smartports, and Smart Install.
