Human Kinetics has experienced growing demand for its digital content, which helps scholars, sports and health 

professionals, and the general public to lead healthier, more active lives. As website traffic has flourished, the IT 

team looked to Cisco

®

 to help them find solutions to improve the scalability, manageability, and performance of 

their data center. Today, Human Kinetics deploys solutions such as Cisco Nexus

®

 and Catalyst

®

 switches, Cisco 

Unified Computing System

™

 (UCS

®

), and the Cisco Network Generation Appliance to deliver digital content more 

quickly and at lower cost. 

 

Expanding the Cisco data center network solution to help manage the 

private cloud, Trankina’s organization 

recently deployed the latest version of Cisco Prime

™

 Virtual NAM (vNAM) on one of its Cisco UCS servers in the 

cloud as part of a beta test program. The benefits to his team were immediate. It let them understand traffic 

behavior across the entire network; analyze the network by application, host, and virtual machine; and identify 

bottlenecks that affect performance and availability-all from a single application. The team now has visibility that 

they did not have befor

e, helping them solve acute problems that they couldn’t before, and giving them a higher 

level of control over the private cloud. 

Business Results 

“The vNAM deployment was one of the easiest things we’ve ever done,” says Trankina. “From the download of the 

virtual appliance to full visibility took less than 45 minutes, and within an hour of having it up and running, we were 
able to use it to avoid a significant disruption to our network.” The application development team had been planning 
to deploy an update, and when they described the new process for the deployment, Trankina’s team was 

concerned about the impact on the network. Using Cisco Prime vNAM, they were able to model the new process 

and learn that their external firewall did not have the capacity to handle the change, which would have had a 
significant negative impact on customers visiting the company’s website. “Without vNAM, we would have deployed 

the new process and then have been up all night trying to figure out what went wrong, what had been changed, 
and why some customers couldn’t access our website,” says Trankina.
