Cisco NAM 2200 Series Appliances 4.1 

The network is the foundation for application delivery. Next-generation networks need to meet the 

growing challenge of effectively delivering applications and services in complex IT environments, where 

reliable application performance is vital to business success. New applications need to be successfully 

deployed. Network resources need to be available and used wisely. Performance degradations need to 

be identified and resolved before they affect business. 

The Cisco

®

 Network Analysis Module (NAM) provides unparalleled visibility into how your network is performing and 

how your users experience the delivery of applications and services to help you understand and improve application 

performance. The broad portfolio of Cisco NAMs, which encompasses integrated services modules, self-contained 

appliances and now a virtual blade, arms you with what you need to manage performance from the branch to the 

data center.  

Introduced in NAM 4.0, the Cisco

®

 NAM 2200 Series Appliances offer next-generation performance, superior 

scalability, and maximum deployment flexibility to deliver exceptional performance monitoring throughout your Cisco 

network. 

The design of the Cisco NAM 2200 Series Appliances is founded on the Cisc

o Common Appliance Model, Cisco’s 

computing-optimized platform, and includes purpose-built hardware to maximize packet processing in high-speed 

networking environments. The results are robust appliances that provide granular traffic analysis, rich application 

performance measurements, comprehensive voice quality of experience monitoring, and deep insightful packet 

captures.

Cisco offers two appliances models, the Cisco NAM 2220 Appliance and the Cisco NAM 2204 Appliance. The Cisco 

NAM 2220 Appliance includes two 10 Gigabit Ethernet monitoring interfaces and six 146 GB Serial Attached SCSI 

(SAS) hard disk drives with RAID for multiservices monitoring in high-speed, high-density environments (Figure 1). 

The Cisco NAM 2220 comes with an option for redundant power. To improve uptime, both the hard disk drives and 

the power supplies are hot-swappable. 

The Cisco NAM 2204 includes four 1 Gigabit Ethernet monitoring interfaces and two 250 GB Serial Advanced 

Technology Attachment (SATA) hard disk drives to meet diverse performance analysis needs in scalable multigigabit 

switching and routing deployments (Figure 2).
