mPRM allows dynamic injection of new applications, system extension libraries, and services
behind the scenes while the devices continue to function.
The core features of mPRM include:
●
Delivery of services and applications on demand (user pull, provider push)
●
Installing, updating on the fly, removing, re-installing services and applications
●
Starting, stopping, disabling services and applications
●
Monitoring and tracking of software inventory
●
Managing privileges and access rights
●
Plug-in architecture for new management protocols and functionalty
Based on a modular component architecture (Figure 1), mPRM can be easily integrated with
existing third-party enterprise systems like databases, CRM systems, and Java application
servers. It helps small, medium, and enterprise-sized businesses transition to a service-oriented
architecture (SOA) service management model for more efficient and effective service delivery in a
dynamically changing business environment, where competitiveness requires flexibility, reduced
costs, and adherence to compliance regulations.

How It Works
ProSyst is a specialist in Java technology, just as Cisco is in network technology. Together Cisco
AXP and the ProSyst mPower Remote Manager provide an ideal combination of Java and network
technology.
ProSyst mPRM provides centralized remote application and system-level management of a wide
range of Cisco ISR AXP devices. ProSyst mPRM is responsible for:
●
Deploying applications to the Cisco AXP platform
◦
Installs new applications
◦
Upgrades, downgrades, uninstalls applications available on the Cisco ISRs
●
Applying system and application configuration changes
