Product Overview 

The Cisco

®

 Evolved Programmable Network (EPN) Manager is a simplified and cost-effective device operation, 

administration, network provisioning, and network assurance manageme

nt solution for today’s converging packet 

and optical multilayer networks. This all-in-one, next-generation product provides device management, network 

provisioning, and network assurance across core, edge, aggregation, and access networks. EPN Manager 

provides end-to-end network management of Carrier Ethernet, optical transport, and circuit emulation over packet 

networks. For example, addressing the combination of circuit emulation over packet, Optical Transport Network 

(OTN), and DWDM/ROADM networks provides comprehensive network management support as service providers 

modernize circuit transport and private line networks.  

To complement its network service provisioning and assurance capabilities, EPN Manager also offers device 

lifecycle management, assurance visibility, and troubleshooting capabilities across service provider Wi-Fi networks, 

from Wi-

Fi access points to switches in wiring closets. This “foundation” support (that is, the combination of device 

lifecycle management, assurance visibility, and troubleshooting capabilities) is also available for customer 

premises routers, WAN routers, core switches, and data center switches.  

Built on a model-based architecture with content decoupled from the platform, it greatly improves agility in content 

delivery. It is a flexible, easy-to-deploy solution with a visually appealing user interface and a common inventory 

and data model. (See Figure 1.)
