Simplify Application Delivery

The Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series Network Analysis Module (NAM 1/NAM 2) offers unparalleled visibility into network performance, and helps you simplify the application delivery challenges of today’s dynamic, evolving global organizations. It enables you to:

• Improve application performance with effective use of Cisco control and optimization mechanisms, such as QoS and Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS)
• Accelerate problem resolution and increase operational efficiency with advanced troubleshooting
• Preempt performance issues with threshold-based, proactive alerts
• Quantify the before and after of a business change, such as server consolidation, WAN optimization, and VoIP rollout on application and network performance

Key Features:

• Voice monitoring: Measures voice quality with a mean opinion score based on ITU-T Recommendation G.107
• Intelligent application performance analytics: Characterizes the end-user experience with a comprehensive set of transaction-based statistics
• Visibility into WAN-optimized networks: Helps identify WAN optimization opportunities and validate the impact of Cisco WAAS
• Advanced troubleshooting: Offers intelligent packet captures, and decodes and filters to help resolve acute problems before they affect end users
• QoS analysis: Helps validate and fine-tune QoS planning assumptions to ensure delivery of end-to-end service levels
• LAN and WAN monitoring: Provides insight into local and remote switch and router traffic for comprehensive traffic analysis
• Remote management: Allows access from any desktop, eliminating the need to send staff to remote sites or transfer large amounts of data to a central site
• Deployment versatility: Cisco NAM can be deployed in existing Cisco Catalyst 6500 Series switches and Cisco 7600 Series routers, protecting network investment and reducing the network footprint
