Overview
Effective network management is more than uptime
percentages. It’s about intelligence and speed: making
smart, real-time decisions and responding quickly to
changing conditions. To do that, you need a solution that
simplifies the management of your network, end to end
and all in one.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 is the One Management
platform from Cisco (Figure 1). It provides lifecycle
management and network service assurance
networkwide, from the wireless user in the branch office,
across the WAN, through the access layer, and now to
the data center. With it, you can speed the deployment
of network devices and services and find problems
sooner and troubleshoot them faster. You can help
employees work their own way on their own devices,
at any time, and work better with each other, from
anywhere. Cisco Prime Infrastructure lets you manage
your network more efficiently and effectively so you
can achieve the highest levels of wireless and wired
network performance, service assurance, and end-user
experience.

Spotlight on What’s New in Cisco Prime
Infrastructure 2.2
Inside Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2, we’ve distilled what
we’ve learned about lifecycle management and service
assurance and packed it underneath an integrated, easy-
to-use user interface. We’ve automated workflows and
templates for efficient deployment, enhanced monitoring for
rapid troubleshooting and resolution, and hardened security
with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140
