You spoke -- we listened! Partner Search will be moving to a new and improved Solutions Catalog called the Cisco Developer Network (CDN) Marketplace, based on the great feedback provided by our valued partners.

These changes reflect the first phase towards the new Marketplace Solutions Catalog planned for release in January 2012. We announced the launch of the CDN Marketplace at Cisco Live in July in parallel with the launch of AppHQ, our application repository for Cisco's Cius tablet. The CDN Marketplace will showcase and actively market your products and applications to a large audience which includes Cisco Channel Partners and our customer's account teams.
