As networks become more complex, the cost associated with deploying, managing, and servicing them becomes a challenge. And as link speeds increase and Service Level Agreement (SLA) margins become tighter, you have less time to react to suspected problems. These challenges prohibit the use of traditional approaches relying entirely on outside management.

Cisco network devices contain powerful technologies that can help you speed up and simplify your network operations and reduce operating expenses. However, a lot of these technologies are not fully used due to lack either of awareness of the technology or of a complete solution targeting your pain points.

Cisco Embedded Automation Systems (EASy) combine embedded management technologies, including:

• Embedded Event Manager (EEM)
• Cisco IP Service Level Agreements (IP SLAs)
• Expression MIB
• Network-Based Application Recognition (NBAR)
• Flexible Netflow
• Enhanced Object Tracking
• Cisco IOS Shell (IOS.sh)

The resulting system addresses key configuration and management issues to make Cisco products:

• Easy to install
• Easy to service
• Easy to manage
