and application visibility.
and application visibility.
Overview
Business and network transformation brings new challenges to traditional IT network management. The
proliferation of mobile devices and pervasive voice and video collaboration, along with cloud and data center
virtualization, is driving the need for higher levels of service and improved quality of experience across the network
infrastructure. These new services and applications require network managers to have improved visibility to
quickly and proactively troubleshoot and resolve problems before they affect services and end-user experience.
Cisco Prime
™
Infrastructure addresses these challenges by
providing a single integrated solution for comprehensive lifecycle
management of the wired/wireless access, campus, and branch
networks, and rich visibility into end-user connectivity and
application performance assurance issues.
Cisco Prime Infrastructure accelerates the rollout of new services
and provides secure access and management of mobile devices,
making "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) a reality for corporate
IT. Tightly coupling client awareness with application
performance visibility and network control, Cisco Prime
Infrastructure helps ensure uncompromised end-user quality of
experience. Deep integration with the
Cisco Identity Services
Engine
(ISE) further extends this visibility across security and
policy-related problems, presenting a complete view of client
access issues with a clear path to solving them.
Converged Simplified Lifecycle Management
Combining the wireless functionality of Cisco Prime Network Control System (NCS) with the wired functionality of
Cisco Prime LAN Management Solution (LMS),
Cisco Prime Infrastructure simplifies and automates many of the
day-to-day tasks associated with maintaining and managing the end-to-end network infrastructure from a single
pane of glass. The new converged solution delivers all of the existing wireless capabilities for RF management,
user access visibility, reporting, and troubleshooting along with wired lifecycle functions such as discovery,
inventory, configuration and image management, automated deployment, compliance reporting, integrated best
practices, and reporting.
