Data Sheet 
Cisco Prime Network 
Cisco Prime
 Network is a comprehensive and cost-effective device operation, 
administration, and network fault-
management solution for today’s complex networks. 
Product Overview 
Networks are becoming ever more complex in the era of virtualization, consisting of both physical and virtual 
infrastructures. Service providers are faced with the task of realigning network and data center operations with 
existing operations support systems (OSSs) to enhance the efficiency, agility, and cost-effectiveness of operations. 
Today’s management systems are point products that are not integrated, complex to administer, and inefficient. 
Cisco Prime
 Network addresses this challenge by providing a single solution for device operation and fault 
management - supporting both the traditional physical network components along with virtual elements and 
compute resources (Figure 1).

Benefits 
● 
Increased operational scale and efficiency through simplified and automated network discovery, 
configuration, and change management 
● 
Proactive service assurance in combination wit
highly effective 
postevent fault management and trend information to help providers avoid future service disruptions 
● 
Lower costs through preintegration with the other components of the 
 suite 
and through standards-based northbound interfaces (NBIs) to third-party OSSs
