CISCOWORKS LAN MANAGEMENT SOLUTION 2.5
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Cisco Systems
®
announces the availability of the CiscoWorks LAN Management Solution (LMS) 2.5 for Windows and Solaris. Minor update kits
for existing CiscoWorks LMS 2.X customers are also being released (updates will not be posted for Web download).
The CiscoWorks LMS 2.5 release is an important milestone in providing network-management tools for simplifying the configuration, performance
monitoring, and troubleshooting of Cisco
®
devices in today’s enterprises. It introduces a centralized system for sharing device information across all
applications, improving manageability and allowing the management system to more dynamically adjust to changes. CiscoWorks LMS 2.5 also
offers a new lightweight desktop interface that facilitates rapid navigation between tools and that can be modified to individual workflow needs.
CiscoWorks LMS 2.5 utilizes security information maintained in Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS) to simplify the management of user
privileges. Cisco Secure ACS integration provides flexibility in defining user roles, and supports secured user views of specific devices, groups of
devices, or by geographic or logical network segments. Significant improvement in performance, such as multithreading background tasks, has
reduced the time needed to deliver updates to the network, as well as generate reports. Efficient task processing and its shared database of managed
devices allow CiscoWorks LMS to be deployed into larger networks.
With the CiscoWorks LMS 2.5 release, Cisco is offering two purchasing options: the CiscoWorks LMS Large Enterprise package, designed to
manage a large number of Cisco network devices, supports the deployment of individual components on separate servers. Second, a 300-device
limited version which is intended for smaller enterprises or when multiple copies of CiscoWorks LMS are deployed to branch or regional locations.
Both feature a new user-registration process that results in a license being sent during installation. The complete collection of applications in the
CiscoWorks LMS 2.5 suite provides the foundation for managing the critical infrastructure of the network.
CiscoWorks LMS 2.5 includes:
•
CiscoWorks Device Fault Manager (DFM) 2.0
•
CiscoWorks Campus Manager 4.0
•
CiscoWorks Resource Manager Essentials (RME) 4.0
•
CiscoWorks Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM) 2.6
