standardized network designs and implementation
to be an essential stepping-stone to a successful

layers, or steps.
STEP 1: The foundation design is chosen that best

Cisco partners the headache of having to custom-
build every time. Having a flexible foundation in place
frees up partner’s schedule, and resources, to explore

technologies and applications (see outer layers).
STEP 2: Advanced technologies are then added,
such as Wireless, Video, Storage and Unified
Communications — all of which work easily with the
foundation network. Because it’s all Cisco technology,
there’s one vendor, one approach and no surprises.
