Closing The Loop for Effective Network Operations Management:
Cisco Prime Assurance Manager
means to plan and maintain rules and policies for getting the best optimizations, maintaining visibility
into performance in/through optimized links, and understanding just how effective optimizations that
have put in place are on an ongoing basis.
into performance in/through optimized links, and understanding just how effective optimizations that
have put in place are on an ongoing basis.
Cisco Prime Assurance Manager includes features that help with all of these challenges. The approach
starts with the use of Cisco Prime NAM, which collects flow data directly from Cisco WAAS and WAE
deployments via the WAAS/WAE Flow Agent. This data is then forwarded to Cisco Prime Assurance
Manager, which presents side-by-side analyses views of precisely which applications are flowing across
each link, which have been optimized versus which have not been optimized, and the before and after
impact of the optimization controls that have been deployed (see Figure 3).

This flow of monitoring data delivers real-time visibility across all optimized segments, regardless
of whether or not other instrumentation (such as NetFlow or a NAM) is present. It also allows for
ongoing monitoring and tuning of optimization controls, providing immediate feedback when controls
are modified or updated. Finally, this visibility means that the role that WAN optimization plays in end-
to-end delivery can be added to problem isolation and root-cause analysis workflows.
