Cisco Prime for Data Center Assurance 

Simplified Assurance for the Cloud 

Data centers for cloud computing are becoming increasingly complex to manage as service providers are faced 

with a growing number of subscribers and applications and with bandwidth-intensive networking. Disparate user 

interfaces and operational processes as well as static tools that manage the heterogeneous physical and virtual 

networks have an adverse impact on service quality, application delivery, and network resource utilization. 

These factors can drive up costs and contribute to poor subscriber experience. 

Cisco Prime for Data Center Assurance helps address these challenges by providing single, integrated 

performance monitoring and fault management. As an integral component of Cisco

®

 Unified Management, this 

scalable and simplified assurance management solution is tightly aligned with the Cisco Unified Data Center 

architecture and supports a breadth of premier data center devices and platforms. (See Figure 1)
