• QoS configuration and monitoring: QoS prioritizes, marks, and shapes application
flows to keep everything running smoothly. Yet many organizations haven’t tapped
the full advantages of QoS because of its inherent complexity. The new QoS
management capabilities in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 hide that complexity. It
automatically translates policies into configurations without requiring advanced skill
sets or CLI intervention from your team. Its real-time monitoring capabilities help you
ensure that applications are performing as expected.

• Cisco AVC work center: Cisco AVC brings application awareness to Cisco IWAN,
providing application recognition and performance metrics built in to the branch
device. Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 delivers powerful tools for global AVC
configuration and data visualization, simplifying and enhancing AVC management.
The new Cisco AVC work center discovers and classifies the hardware and software
readiness of your devices. Then with one click, you can send updated software
images to multiple devices in all branch offices.

• NBAR2 Protocol Pack management: An integral component of the Cisco AVC
solution, Network Based Application Recognition 2 (NBAR2) performs deep packet
inspection to recognize and classify applications. The NBAR2 Protocol Packs let
you update your routers with the latest set of application definitions without waiting
for the next platform release, and Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 lets you automate
Protocol Pack deployment.

Why Cisco?
What if you could manage your entire network, including both your wired and wireless
infrastructure, data center, WAN, and campus with one management console? In fact,
that’s the idea driving Cisco Prime Infrastructure. It delivers comprehensive lifecycle
management - One Management - and network assurance visibility - One Assurance
- from the end-user to the application. With one view and control point, you can
manage your entire network. And now, the introduction of Cisco Prime Infrastructure
2.2 makes network management simpler and faster than ever.
Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 delivers what you need to manage Cisco IWAN, the
industry’s most advanced and efficient WAN solution. Cisco is the only vendor that
allows you to manage both Cisco IWAN devices and services, as well as monitor the
end-user experience, using a single pane of glass. It simplifies your ongoing balancing
act of delivering consistent application performance while saving time and money.
