Simplify Application Delivery with Real-Time, 
Granular Visibility and Enterprisewide Reporting
The network is the foundation for application delivery. 
Next-generation networks need to meet the growing 
challenge of effectively delivering applications and 
services in complex IT environments, where reliable and 
consistent application performance is vital to business 
success.

 Network Analysis Module (NAM) 4.1 is a network-
aware performance monitoring solution that provides 
comprehensive visibility into network and application 
performance to empower network managers to tackle 
the next generation of application delivery challenges 
(Figure 1). It allows them to:
Monitor application performance in real time with 
rich analytics
Improve application performance with effective 
use of control and optimization mechanisms such 
as quality of service (QoS) and Cisco Wide Area 
Application Services (WAAS)
Accelerate problem resolution with comprehensive 
traffic visibility and advanced troubleshooting
Preempt performance issues with proactive alerts 
facilitating corrective action to minimize the impact 
on end users
Quantify the before and after of a business change, 
such as server consolidation, analyze WAN 
Optimized and Passthrough traffic, and voice-
over-IP (VoIP) rollout on application and network 
performance

Cisco NAM
Cisco NAM exports application response time informa-
tion to NetQoS SuperAgent* management console 
for consolidated enterprisewide reporting. NetQoS 
SuperAgent reporting complements the granular real-
time performance visibility offered by Cisco NAM to help 
monitor how applications are being delivered across 
the enterprise, yet isolate and resolve delivery problems 
proactively and promptly at their source (Figure 2). 
NetQoS SuperAgent, the application response time 
module of the NetQoS Performance Center, offers a wide 
selection of management, operations, and engineering 
analytics and reports, including service-level summaries, 
dashboards, multitier application layouts, correlated 
incidents, and detailed performance trend plots. The 
focus of NetQoS reporting is on interactive workflows 
that draw attention to performance-related issues and 
provide navigation to actionable details. The user can 
simply follow the colors from an enterprise dashboard, to 
a logical diagram of an N-tier application (Figure 3), to the 
detailed trend graphs of performance metrics.
