Using the existing Cisco WAAS footprint, Cisco Prime NAM for WAAS VB provides an integrated solution for 

application and network performance visibility in WAN optimized deployments. Cisco Prime NAM for WAAS VB 

utilizes the built-in instrumentation on WAAS devices as a data source for visibility into optimized and pass-through 

application traffic flows. WAAS devices provide information about packet streams of interest traversing through both 

their LAN and WAN interfaces. Traffic of interest includes specific servers and types of transactions to be monitored. 

NAM uses the information received from the WAAS devices in the data center as well as the remote sites (Figure 1) 

to compute performance metrics, such as application response time, WAN bandwidth usage, and LAN and WAN data 

throughput that are essential for assessing the performance improvements as a result of optimization (Figure 2).

Cisco Prime NAM monitors performance metrics across the client, WAN, and the server segments to present a 

detailed multisegment view for end-to-end application performance analysis (Figure 3). The view further helps to 

quickly assess the impact of optimization on each of the three segments and isolate any latency issue due to a 

specific segment.
