Hello, I'm Ismail Ali with Cisco.
Today, I'd like to talk to you about a performance management solution
that provides immediate, actionable information
to help service providers deliver carrier-class video, voice,
mobile, cloud, and managed services.
As the service providers rapidly introduce new services,
they must also continue to help ensure the quality of existing services
for customer satisfaction and retention.
High visibility and real-time monitoring of the network and service performance
are crucial to proactively identify issues before they affect end users.
Service providers also need to better understand service usage patterns,
to help with long-term planning of network capacity optimization
and cost management.
Cisco Prime Performance Manager addresses these requirements
by gathering detailed performance statistics for both Cisco
and multivendor network devices deployed across the entire network.
It intelligently analyzes and processes the collected data,
to generate useful reports that help with service assurance and capacity planning.
This solution provides carrier-class scale without the cost.
It can manage 100,000 devices with approximately 9.7 million interfaces.
Yet, it's designed for low startup and administrative costs,
with support for the Cisco Unified Computing System,
Linux, and VMware.
It supports multidomain networks, such as Carrier Ethernet,
Unified RAN Backhaul, Evolved Packet Core, Video, and Data Center
spanning all the way from subscriber access to the cloud.
With flexible, user-defined, domain-specific views,
operators can easily organize performance data
into customized graphs and charts to meet their particular needs.
This empowers them to quickly identify issues that affect the network,
and effectively communicate complex network data to different audiences.
This solution supports more than 4500 prepackaged reports
over a wide range of network services, technologies, and devices.
The reports are autogenerated, simplifying operations
and reducing total cost of ownership.
They also provide deep visibility into the network,
helping operators and network planners easily answer questions,
such as: How do I know which devices are overutilized?
How can I quickly find out which backhaul links are congested?
and How do I determine which services have poor quality and response time?
With Cisco Prime Performance Manager, standards-based
data collection can be applied easily to any SNMP-enabled device.
It helps service providers protect their investment
and provide greater flexibility in today's multivendor environment.
Users can generate 1, 5, 15-minute, hourly, daily, weekly and monthly summarized reports.
In addition, the solution can export reports as CSV data files
for seamless integration with third-party operations support system, or OSS applications,
further reducing costs and risks.
This solution is easy to deploy on single or multiple servers,
with an embedded database that reduces installation time.
It's also easy to use, with an intuitive web-based interface
that provides fast access to performance reports,
flexible drill-down options for details, and comprehensive graphical representations..
Cisco Prime Performance Manager is easy to extend.
It can be customized to support new devices, including non-Cisco equipment.
It can also dynamically load new reports,
and support extensions to existing reports.
Service providers can adapt quickly to changing market dynamics
and adjust service offerings without extra costs.
Easy-to-use autodiscovery and GUI-driven integration
with Cisco Prime Central and Cisco Prime Network help ensure
fast deployment and centralized access to essential network information.
Cisco Prime Performance Manager also provides instant visibility
into network performance, through user-defined threshold-crossing alerts
that allow service providers to take immediate action to avoid service disruption.
To summarize, Cisco Prime Performance Manager provides
fast, easy, actionable information, and allows service providers
to proactively monitor their evolving networks and deliver
reliable, high-quality services.
