Overview

Prime Performance Manager is a simple-to-deploy and easy-to-use, unified management system that helps you monitor an all-Cisco or multi-vendor and multi-technology network. It allows you to view reports and perform administrative tasks, using a Web 2.0 user interface.

Prime Performance Manager is an integral part of the Cisco Prime product family. You can integrate it with Cisco Prime Central to provide a seamless user experience to view performance reports integrated with network and service topologies. You can also integrate it with Cisco Prime Network, Cisco Prime Network Services Controller, and Cisco Prime Service Catalog.

Prime Performance Manager:

• Collects network performance information and generates statistics on delay, jitter, and packet loss in a packet network.
• Monitors performance statistics for Internet Protocol/Multi-Protocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS), Carrier Ethernet, mobile backhaul, Mobile Evolved Packet Core (EPC), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and data center, networks, and technologies. Using a web-based user interface, you can view over 7300 reports in the following areas:

– Application Traffic

– Applications

– Availability

– Compute

– IP Protocols

– IP Quality of Service (QoS)

– IP Service Level Agreements (SLA)

– JMX Applications

– Layer 2 Protocols
