Cisco Branch Routers Series Network Analysis Module 4.2
Today’s enterprises heavily rely on applications for communication, collaboration, and effective day-to-day
operations. At the same time, IT is being challenged to manage application delivery in a rapidly changing
environment. The number of employees is growing at branch and remote offices, application architectures
are increasing in complexity, application traffic is proliferating, and traffic patterns are becoming difficult to
predict. Further, driven by security, regulatory, and economic considerations, enterprises are embracing
server consolidation, desktop virtualization, and network and application convergence to maximize the
value of their IT investments. With this confluence of new business demands, comprehensive application
and network visibility is no longer simply nice to have. This visibility is now essential in helping make
branch and remote offices more productive, more collaborative, and more operationally efficient.

Network Analysis Module (NAM) is a powerful network-aware performance monitoring and troubleshooting
solution that delivers unparalleled visibility into application and network performance to help meet application
delivery challenges head on and ensure an exceptional end-user experience.
Product Overview
Cisco Branch Routers Series Network Analysis Module (Figure 1) combines performance monitoring, traffic analysis,
and advanced troubleshooting to meet the performance management needs of today’s dynamic, evolving
enterprises. It is designed to provide deeper insight into the branch both at the network and application levels. It
offers real-time visibility into the applications running on the network, how the network resources are being utilized,
and how the end users experience the services being delivered in Cisco Borderless Access networks. The visibility
enables IT to effectively use control and optimization mechanisms, such as quality of service (QoS) and Wide Area
Application Services (WAAS), to improve performance of these services.
