Cisco Prime NAM for WAN Optimization Deployment

Application Delivery Challenges for Enterprises Competing Priorities Data Center Branch Data center Consolidation Data protection, availability, compliance, and management influence need for consolidation Fewer devices to manage Fewer points to protect Primary Site Remote Offices Regional Offices Servers Storage Distribution of Resources Increasingly distributed workforce influences need for distribution of IT resources to remote locations Enables productivity Affects revenue and profits Home Offices Recovery Site Mobile Workers Servers Storage

Application Delivery Bottlenecks Network Segments Applications perform well in the LAN segment High bandwidth Low latency Reliability Applications perform poorly in WAN segment Already congested Low bandwidth Latency Packet Loss Round Trip Time (RTT) ~ 0mS Round Trip Time (RTT) ~ 100-200 milliseconds WAN LAN Switch Client LAN Switch Client LAN Switch Server Server

NAM Prime NAM Provides Visibility for Cisco WAAS Managing Application Delivery Identify Sites With Application Performance Challenges Quantify the Application Performance Validate the Impact of WAN Optimization Ongoing Monitoring of WAN Optimization Troubleshoot WAN Optimized Traffic

Adobe Flash Demonstration Outline Identify sites with application performance challenges Choose Monitor > Site Summary. View sites with the highest average transaction time and sites with the highest traffic rate. Quantify the application performance Choose Monitor > Response Time Summary. Specify Filter: Site - San Jose Campus, Time Range - 1 day, and Time Range - 1 week http has the highest server response time. Right-click and choose Analyze Application Response Time. Specify Filter: Time Range – 1 day Identify applications with poor performance and quantify the response time by network time, server response time, and data transfer time.

Adobe Flash Demonstration Outline Validate the impact of WAN Optimization Analyze > WAN optimization > Application Performance Analysis. Minimize WAN Opt Impact analysis filter on the left. View the effect of optimizing http: lower transaction time (better end-client experience), lower compression ratio (better utilization of the WAN), and fewer average concurrent connections (better utilization of server through connection reuse). Performing ongoing monitoring of WAN optimization and troubleshoot WAN optimized traffic Choose Analyze > Conversation Multi Segment. View detailed breakdown of latency and bandwidth measures for the server, WAN, and client network segments.
