Cisco Prime Collaboration Manager 1.0 

Cisco Prime

™

 Collaboration Manager (CM) provides a powerful web-based user experience for managing and quickly 

troubleshooting end-to-end video collaboration over a borderless network.

 Troubleshooting, managing, and helping 

to ensure video quality in point-to-point and multipoint video sessions can be challenging. Collaboration Manager 

takes the guesswork out of video collaboration management by providing service and network operators with a real-

time unified view of all Cisco TelePresence

®

 

sessions in progress and immediate visibility into each session’s 

associated media paths, quickly isolating the source of problems. When Medianet-capable devices are deployed in 

the network, Collaboration Manager provides even deeper network path visibility, down to the granularity of video flow 

statistics. 

Collaboration Manager helps to ensure a superior end-user experience by: 

● 

Supporting timely end-to-end visibility and isolation of video-related issues for sessions, endpoints, and the 

network 

● 

Reducing time to troubleshoot and recover from service-affecting problems 

● 

Providing detailed analysis of the media path with critical fault and performance statistics that support quick 

isolation of network devices causing service degradation 

● 

Efficiently validating large-scale deployments through comprehensive inventory, health, and status of Cisco 

TelePresence endpoints as well as service and network infrastructure devices 

● 

Delivering reports that allow operators to track usage and problem history 

Cisco Prime Collaboration Manager is a product of the Cisco Prime network management portfolio. 

The Cisco Prime portfolio of enterprise and service provider management offerings supports integrated lifecycle 

management of Cisco architectures and technologies based on a service-centric framework. Built on an intuitive 

workflow-oriented user experience, Cisco Prime products help increase IT productivity and reduce operations costs 

through innovative management solutions for the network services, infrastructure, and endpoints. 

Cisco TelePresence service operators need to manage large service deployments and monitor many concurrent 

sessions. Cisco Prime Collaboration Manager provides operators with the ability to visualize the service status and 

topology of all sessions currently in progress. Operators can quickly pinpoint critical sessions as well as locate and 

address sessions with problems (Figure 1). This built-in visibility helps operators optimize video delivery and reduce 

operational costs across the organization.

 Phase 1 is to include support for Cisco TelePresence. Support for additional video collaboration endpoints will be added in 

subsequent releases.
