Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 

Accelerate business and network transformation with unified lifecycle management 
and application visibility. 

Overview 

Business and network transformation brings new challenges to 

traditional IT network management organizations. 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, application delivery assurance, and improved end-

user experience and qua

lity of service (QoS). Today’s IT 

organizations must maintain business continuity and lower 

operational expenses while supporting these major transformations. 

Cisco Prime

™

 Infrastructure addresses these challenges by providing 

a single integrated solution for comprehensive lifecycle management 

and application visibility that helps enable network managers to 

maintain, operate, and deliver applications and services that meet the 

demands for a better end-user experience. 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure accelerates the rollout of new services and 
provides secure access and tracking 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 

 (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 

Cisco Prime Infrastructure simplifies and automates many of the day-to-day tasks associated with maintaining and 

managing the end-to-end network infrastructure. The new converged solution delivers all of the existing wireless 

capabilities for radio frequency (RF) management, user access visibility, reporting, and troubleshooting along with 

network infrastructure lifecycle functions such as discovery, inventory, configuration and image management, 

compliance reporting, integrated best practices, and reporting. A new operational workflow model based on 

lifecycle processes aligns the product functionality with the way network operators do their jobs: 

● 

Design - Assess, plan, and create configurations required to roll out new network services and 

technologies. Create templates used for monitoring key network resources, devices, and attributes. Default 

templates and best practice designs are provided for quick out-of-the-box implementation, automating the 

work required to use Cisco validated designs and best practices.
