Cisco Prime Network Control System 1.1 

Product Overview 

Part of the 

 bundle, Cisco

®

 Prime Network Control System (NCS) provides converged 

user, access, and identity management across wired and wireless networks to meet the challenges that Bring Your 

Own Device (BYOD) is placing on IT organizations. Designed with users and their mobile devices in mind, Cisco 

Prime NCS speeds network troubleshooting by giving IT complete visibility into connectivity, regardless of device, 

network or location. Deep integration with the 

 (ISE) further extends this visibility 

across security and policy-related problems, presenting a complete view of client issues with a clear path to solving 

them. Cisco Prime NCS (Figure 1) delivers full lifecycle management of Cisco 

 LAN infrastructure, with 

additional focus on the deployment and management of branch networks.

The platform significantly reduces operational costs by eliminating the need for competing overlay management 

solutions for wired, wireless, and branch networks, as well as security policy. Built on the foundation of Cisco 

Wireless Control System (WCS), Cisco Prime NCS: 

● 

Helps resolve access problems across wired and wireless networks to get users back online faster 

● 

Facilitates visibility of user attributes, posture, and profile through integration with the 

 (ISE) 

● 

Introduces lifecycle management of Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISRs), the Cisco Aggregation 

Services Router (ASR) 1000 Series, and Cisco Catalyst

®

 switches 

●

● 

Allows full wireless lifecycle management, enabling IT staff to design and maintain optimal RF environments 

● 

Offers an intuitive user experience to eliminate complexity, improve IT productivity, and minimize staffing 

requirements 

● 

Provides a scalable platform for small, mid-sized, and large-scale wired and wireless networks, across both 

campus and distributed branch environments 

● 

Delivers physical or virtual appliance deployment for flexibility without sacrificing functionality
