Cisco Prime Infrastructure Assurance - (v. 3.0) - Upgrade License - 500 Devices - Upgrade From 2.x - ESD - For P/N: R-P-MGMT3X-U-K9 - L-P-PI3X-AS-500-U

• Single-pane-of-glass management
  Cisco Prime Infrastructure delivers a single, unified platform for network service provisioning, monitoring and assurance and change and compliance management. It accelerates device and services deployment and helps you rapidly resolve problems that can affect the end-user experience. It helps minimize the amount of time you spend managing the existing network so you can maximize the time you spend in supporting business growth.
• Simplified deployment of Cisco capabilities
  Cisco Prime Infrastructure makes the design and fulfillment of Cisco differentiated features and services fast and efficient. With out-of-the-box support for technologies such as Intelligent WAN (IWAN), Distributed Wireless with Converged Access, Application Visibility and Control (AVC), Zone-Based Firewall, and Cisco TrustSec 2.0 Identity-Based Networking Services, it helps you get more from the intelligence built in to your Cisco devices as quickly as possible.
• Deep application visibility
  Cisco Prime Infrastructure configures and uses embedded Cisco instrumentation and advanced technologies for application visibility and network policy optimization. These technologies include NetFlow, Network-Based Application Recognition 2 (NBAR2), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and more. Cisco Prime Infrastructure can also trigger capture, processing and drill-down into application performance and packet diagnostics data from distributed Cisco Network Analysis Module (NAM) deployments.
• Comprehensive coverage of enterprise mobility
  Cisco Prime Infrastructure delivers pinpoint visibility into the who, what, when, where, and how of wireless access through its own data collection and key integrations. It includes 802.11ac support; correlated wired-wireless client visibility; unified access infrastructure monitoring; spatial mapping; integrated security and policy application and troubleshooting; integrated location-based tracking of interferers, rogues, and Wi-Fi client.
• Unified assurance across network and compute
  Cisco Prime Infrastructure delivers scalable management and service assurance across the breadth of enterprise infrastructure in your branch-office, campus, and data center networks including network equipment, UCS servers and virtual machines. The ability to track a user in the branch connecting via a mobile or wired device, all the way to a compute resource in the data center is essential to faster onboarding, remediation and troubleshooting.
• User interface
  Modern user interface provides operators with a quick and easy view to isolate issues in the network and identify root cause remediation. This different interface also allows customers to have a superior experience whether they are using a tablet or a traditional PC.
• Alarm customization
  Network operators have the ability to customize alarms based on the operational needs of the enterprise. Customizable syslog based alarms provides the ability to custom create next alarms and prioritize operator response.
• Correlated performance graphs
  Correlated charts enable administrators to carry out comparative troubleshooting of network KPIs. The overlay of alarms and configuration change events in the correlated graphs helps connect network change events to performance degradation / improvements.
• Configuration compliance
  With the addition of a compliance engine, the product provides operators the ability to specify the golden network configuration and perform an audit of the network devices against the configuration archive or the device configuration. The audit report identifies devices that are out of compliance. Operators can remediate the devices that are out of compliance with the desired configuration. This engine also helps with generating reports for EoL/EoS/PCI for network devices.
• Wireless management
  Simplified client troubleshooting enables network operators to easily identify the root cause of client issues in a graphical format, speeding up problem identification and resolution. Rogue management and troubleshooting is simplified with enhancements to switch port tracing (SPT) to identify rogue devices on the wire in the network.
• Routing - intelligent WAN (IWAN) management
  Guided workflows based on Cisco Validated Designs and advanced practices radically simplify deployment and management of Cisco IWAN devices and services. The workflow speeds up provisioning of services such as Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) and Performance Routing (PfR) and simplifies quality of service (QoS) configuration and monitoring. The ultimate PfR monitoring dashboard provides visibility into how application path optimization is working on alternative transport routes and aids troubleshooting of route change events driven by IWAN.
• Data center management
  Advanced extends coverage to compute infrastructure management supporting inventory, fault, configuration and performance for UCS B-series blade and C-series rack servers integrated with Service Profile management. Integration with VMware vCenter supports monitoring and visualization of virtualized servers and VMware hypervisors operating on UCS underlay hosts.

Mobile device proliferation, pervasive voice and video collaboration, and cloud and data center virtualization are transforming the network as never before. The advanced opportunities around a dynamic and application-centric network bring forth a host of challenges. There's the need for enhanced network and application visibility, assured end user experience, faster troubleshooting and simplified deployment and management - all the while maintaining business continuity and holding down operational costs.
To address these challenges, IT professionals need a comprehensive solution to manage, visualize and monitor the network from a single graphical interface. Cisco Prime Infrastructure provides lifecycle management, assurance visibility and troubleshooting capabilities network wide - from the wireless user in the branch office, across the WAN, and to the data center. Cisco Prime Infrastructure lets you manage your network more efficiently and effectively so you can achieve the next levels of wireless and wired network performance, service assurance, and application-centric end-user experience.
