Deliver consistent and optimized service performance level in the empowered branch with Cisco Branch Routers Series Network Analysis Module (NME-NAM). This services module, combined with Cisco Integrated Services Routers, provides performance monitoring, traffic analysis, and advanced troubleshooting to meet the performance assurance needs of today's dynamic and evolving enterprises.

This module offers real-time visibility and can help:

• Improve application performance with effective control and optimization mechanisms such as quality of service (QoS) and Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS)
• Increase operational efficiency with advanced troubleshooting and remote management
• Pre-empt performance issues with threshold-based proactive alerts
• Monitor the impact on application performance from changes such as server consolidation, WAN optimization, and voice over IP deployments

Key features and benefits of the module include:

• 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 comprehensive set of transaction- and session-based statistics
• Visibility into WAN-optimized networks: Monitors application performance to help identify optimization opportunities and validate the impact of Cisco WAAS
• Advanced troubleshooting: Offers intelligent packet captures, decodes, and filters to help resolve acute problems before they affect end users
• QoS analysis: Helps validate and fine-tune QoS planning assumptions to help 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: Enables module deployment in existing Cisco 2800, 3700, and 3800 Series routers, protecting your network investment and reducing the network footprint
