Deliver High Capacity and Quality of Service

Cisco Prime Optical provides end-to-end configuration and provisioning capabilities and fault management for the optical domain. This single software application helps service providers manage the entire service delivery lifecycle in packet optical networks and legacy technologies such as SONET and SDH.

Cisco Prime Optical facilitates end-to-end circuit creation. It helps you configure and manage every point within converged networks with unprecedented accuracy, scalability, and simplicity.

The application is available as a standalone product, but when purchased with other Cisco Prime products, including Cisco Prime Network and Cisco Prime Central, it becomes part of a single, comprehensive, powerful IP NGN management solution.

Cisco Prime Optical maintains an efficient and productive optical infrastructure with one view of the nationwide optical network. It constantly monitors key performance indicators to support fault, configuration, performance, and security management. Its advanced management capabilities, such as A-to-Z circuit provisioning, are easy to learn and error free.
