Cisco Prime Assurance Manager
Business critical applications and services are increasingly becoming highly correlated
with the business operations, processes, and employee productivity at an enterprise.
Network managers responsible for managing such services and applications face the
difficult challenge of ensuring an optimal user experience in a dynamic and
unpredictable network environment. Understanding network behavior through visibility
of key performance characteristics “end-to-end” is the cornerstone of assuring a
quality user experience and improved application and service delivery across the
enterprise. This has made the requirement of having a solution that can give
end-to-end visibility into application and service delivery, tightly aligned with the
lifecycle management of the network, very critical.

Cisco Prime Assurance Manager (Prime AM) is a new product that takes the guesswork out of understanding and
improving the end-user experience for applications and services. Prime AM allows network managers to do
network-based proactive monitoring of services, gain visibility into application health and the end-user experience
for faster and more effective problem resolution. It does this by normalizing and correlating data across multiple
sources of embedded performance instrumentation and by providing monitoring, analysis and troubleshooting
workflows that allow network managers to look at health of services and applications in context of the health of the
underlying infrastructure. See Figure 1.
