managers realize operational efficiencies that include improved responsiveness to business needs, faster problem

identification and remediation, and lower incident and problem rates.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure enables embedded Cisco instrumentation and industry-standard technologies, such as

NetFlow, Network Based Application Recognition (NBAR), Medianet, Performance Agent, and Simple Network

Management Protocol (SNMP), to deliver networkwide application-aware visibility. It provides operations

monitoring and quality of experience workflows that reduce instrumentation configuration and data collection

complexity to quickly and easily gain insight into network and application performance. It also integrates with Cisco

Prime Network Analysis Module (NAM) to permit the collection and correlation of granular flow- and packet-based

data from one NAM or many, helping to enable deeper analysis and troubleshooting to rapidly solve challenging

application and network problems.

Reduce Operational Expenses

Cisco Prime Infrastructure’s scalable single-pane-of-glass solution significantly reduces operational costs by

reducing the number of required management solutions. Cisco Prime Infrastructure scales to manage thousands

of routers and switches and hundreds of Cisco wireless controllers, which in turn can manage up to 15,000 Cisco

Aironet

access points (APs). Ongoing support of new Cisco devices and software releases helps ensure device

support parity within each device family, and is provided through the Incremental Device Updates (IDUs). This

eliminates gaps in your management operations, especially when it comes to service availability and

troubleshooting.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure offers both physical appliance and virtual appliance options for deployment flexibility

without sacrificing scalability, ease of installation and setup, or serviceability and sustainability.
