Network Visibility in the Data Center:
Best Practices for Staying Ahead
Figure 3: Monitoring Application Workloads with vNAM; Isolating the server
as the cause of application performance degradation
The result is a flexible network monitoring solution that can help operators understand and analyze
performance across a wide range of important use cases, including mixed physical/virtual and hybrid
infrastructures, multi-tier applications, mixed wired/wireless networks, critical data center interconnect
links, and more.
Staying Ahead via Collaboration
The Cisco NAM’s ability to support cross-team communications and collaboration has been substantially
enhanced via a number of new scheduled report features. First, the existing web-based console views
can be shared directly with others, by simply forwarding the URL of the view of interest to authorized
recipients – no independent NAM licenses or logins are required. Also, reports can now be generated to
directly reflect the interactive console views that an operator has set up to investigate a particular incident
or problem. Results can be exported to CSV or PDF, and distributed automatically via email. Further,
reports can be run across multiple NAM instances, either for specific days or on a custom interval basis.
