Is the end-user experiencing any response

time degradations?

Can I effectively leverage QoS and

WAN optimization to improve application

performance?

Is my business critical application traffic getting

higher priority?

Am I loosing a lot packets on the WAN router interface?

Can I monitor VMnetwork traffic to validate and fine-

tune virtual infrastructure

configuration (QoSpolicies, VLAN

assignments, …)

How can I quickly isolate and analyze root-cause of

application performance issues?

What applications are consuming most resource and who is

using them?


Introducing Cisco NAM Software 5.0Network Traffic and Performance Analysis

Empower network administrators with visibility into the network to optimize resources, troubleshoot performance

issues, and ensure consistent end-user experience

• Improves operational efficiency

• Provides enhanced application performance visibility across the network

• Reduces total cost of ownership and simplifies manageability
