Network management systems assist companies to deploy infrastructure effectively, look up client information rapidly, monitor network health, debug problems, protect against and respond to threats, and optimize performance. Network management tools can help detect inefficient or improper uses of network services like streaming multimedia or peer-to-peer file sharing that can waste bandwidth, reduce worker output or enable data leakage. A well crafted network management environment can also assist companies to make smart capacity planning moves by surfacing tendencies in resource usage for various periods or types of tasks.

Cisco Meraki Dashboard Consulting Experts

The Meraki Dashboard enables simplified cloud management for Cisco infrastructure hardware

Cisco offers a rich and growing catalog of network management platforms that support unified management for local, cloud-based, or hybrid network architectures. With Cisco's later generation of security, switching, and Wi-Fi infrastructure products, you can run Meraki, Cisco DNA Center, or CLI management platforms for network monitoring and management. For example, you can interface the latest Catalyst or Meraki switches and Catalyst or Meraki Wi-Fi access points to the Meraki dashboard to manage critical components of your corporate infrastructure from the cloud. Progent's Cisco Catalyst WiFi access point consulting experts, Meraki WiFi AP experts, Catalyst switches integration experts, and Cisco Meraki switches experts can assist you to design, implement and tune a modern environment for network infrastructure management.

Traditional Network Management Platforms from Cisco and Others
Cisco Network Management Solutions ExpertiseAn abundance of network management tools from Cisco and other vendors highlights the value and complexity of network management. Progent's Cisco qualified network management engineers are experienced at helping companies develop management strategies based on SNMP, Syslog, and Cisco Netflow protocols to create effective tools for understanding network bandwidth usage and network latency, monitoring key router and switch performance metrics, and recognizing traffic profiles, applications, and appliances utilizing network resources.

Progent can assist businesses to deploy a rich range of open source and license-based monitoring and management utilities to manage Cisco infrastructure. Utilities familiar to Progent's engineers include MRTG, Cacti, Nagios, PRTG, Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM), Cisco Network Assistant, CiscoWorks, Cisco Security Manager, OpenView, AlterPoint DeviceAuthority, Adventnet Netflow, Big Brother, and Necordia NetMRI.

Network management tools can allow organizations to be aware of current system usage and intelligently plan for downstream capacity increases. Network management tools can also be used to identify poor or inappropriate uses of network resources, for example streaming multimedia, peer-to-peer file sharing, etc. that can use up valuable and limited network resources. A carefully designed network management strategy can also aid organizations to make intelligent decisions on wide and local area network enhancements after they understand the amount of network resources actually needed at any one time.

Putting an effective network management system in place in advance is critical to prevent severe disruptions that can result from Denial Of Service (DoS) attacks and dangerous viruses/Trojans. These assaults can render the network unusable and in the absence of appropriate tools it can be difficult, and in some cases practically impossible, to identify the source of the problem.

Network Management Tools from Cisco
Cisco has created a selection of powerful tools that should form the foundation for any network management strategy. Used in conjunction with the top outside vendor products, Cisco's network management software can enhance the competitive value of network infrastructures for organizations of all sizes by addressing important areas such as resource utilization, performance, resilience, security, repair, and capacity planning. Cisco's top network management tools include:

Cisco ASDM is a browser-based Java applet that permits you configure and monitor the software on security devices. Cisco Adaptive Security Device Manager is installed by the network device, and enables you to set up, monitor, and control the unit.

Monitor Manager is a management solution designed to address the requirements of small and midsize organizations. Monitor Manager actively scans key device parameters on voice/data environments serving 5 to 250 workers and equipped with as many as 250 VoIP phones. Monitor Manager provides:

  • Real-time tracking of important appliance parameters on Cisco SMB-class routers, switches, and voice gateways, Communications Manager Express, Unity Express, security appliances, WAPs, and IP phones
  • Ability to manage the Cisco Unified Communications 500 communications appliance for businesses with as many as 50 workers
Cisco Monitor Manager monitors the system on a round-the-clock basis and frequently polls and collects identification and performance-monitoring data from the monitored devices in the system. Monitor Manager is a Windows-based application and is completely transparent to system operations and does not use any agent on target appliances. Cisco Monitor Manager provides a variety of valuable features such as:
  • Voice and data network discovery and physical topology
  • Physical and process looks at Cisco Unified Communications deployment
  • System wide inventory collection and reporting
  • Highly secure and dependable operation
  • Device performance monitoring
  • VoIP Telephony monitoring
  • Interface status and traffic tracking
  • Real-time alerts and event notification

Cisco Network Assistant is a PC-hosted management application optimized for wired and wireless LANs (WLANs) for growing companies with as many as 40 switches and routers. By using Smartports, Network Assistant streamlines configuration, installation, and ongoing management and support of Cisco-based networks. The application provides a unified system view and allows network managers to employ its features among Cisco switches, routers, and WAPs.

Security Manager is a feature-rich but easy-to-use application for centrally provisioning all aspects of device set up and policies for firewalls, VPNs, and Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). Cisco Security Manager effectively manages even small environments consisting of fewer than ten appliances, but also scales to manage enterprise systems with thousands of devices. Expansion is achieved through intelligent policy-driven control techniques that can streamline administrative overhead. Key features of Security Manager are:

  • Supports provisioning for Cisco routers configured with a Cisco IOS security software image, ASA 5500 family firewalls, Cisco PIX firewalls, IPS 4200 family inline security appliances, and Catalyst 6500 security services modules
  • Respond more quickly to attacks: specify and apply new security policies to thousands of devices in a few easy steps
  • Intuitive graphical user interface provides superior ease-of-use
  • Multiple looks that offer flexible ways to control appliances and policies such as the capability to manage the security network graphically on a system topology map
  • Comprehensive video help for the novice operator to reduce training time
  • Globally call out which policies are shared and inherited by new appliances to ensure corporate policies are configured regularly, at the same time offering sufficient versatility to customize policies at the individual appliance level
  • Ability to build a single firewall rule database for Cisco platforms with smart analysis of firewall policies to determine conflicts in the rule base
  • Easily configure site-to-site, hub-and-spoke, full mesh, or extranet Virtual Private Network connections by means of a VPN wizard
  • Compatibility with Cisco ACS for granular role based access control to appliances and management functions
  • Integration with Cisco security MARS to associate events against related firewall rules to enable quicker decision making and enhanced system up time
  • Capability to assign particular jobs to each manager in the course of the deployment of a rule, with formal change management and logging; permits the security and systems operations staff to work together as a cohesive group with effective teamwork
How Progent's Cisco Certified Experts Can Help You with Network Management
