12. CiscoWorks LMS 4.0 “A New Management Paradigm”

13. CiscoWorks LMS 4.0 Release Goals and Objectives Ease-of-Use and Ease-of-Operations Significantly address #1 customer issue with LMS – usability Context & Relevance Extensible framework to leverage Cisco’s solutions and best practices knowledge Cisco Differentiation Facilitate adoption and stickiness of Cisco technologies – Identity, EnergyWise, Stack Power, Smart Install, Auto Smartports

14. CiscoWorks LMS 4.0 Usability Highlights CiscoWorks LMS 4.0 has made significant changes and improvements to overall usability and user experience • New Look and Feel • New User Interface and User Experience standards based on Web 2.0 paradigms • Improved navigation; Workflow-based user experience • Move from Application to Functional partitioning; flattened navigation to reduce “feature hunting” • Significantly reduced # of windows and pop-ups • New portlets, dashboards and mouse-overs • Fewer clicks to get to the details • Simplified set-up • Setup wizards and guided workflows for easy installation (Installs in 1/3 time of LMS 3.2) • ‘Informational vs. mechanical’ help; Video help

15. Monitoring and Troubleshooting Out-of-the-box default settings enable immediate monitoring and troubleshooting to quickly isolate network problems • Contextual dashboards and troubleshooting views Automated health and event monitoring • Centralized alarm & event browsers • Event forensics and annotations Cisco NAM integration Cisco IP – PSIRT, EoX, Contract Center

User tracking allows network engineers to understand quickly how users, end-hosts, and phones are connected to the network significantly reducing connectivity troubleshooting time. Network engineers are able to enforce configuration rules and ensure best practices with corporate policies. Case Study Fortune 500 Financial Institution CHALLENGES Optimize and secure day-to-day network operations – do more with less Enforce device compliancewith in-house standards Ensure business continuity by proactively monitoringcritical devices Provide tools to improve client teams’ productivity Solution: CiscoWorks LMS Large financial institution,8500 offices in 86 countries worldwide, Cisco 35xx, 45xx, 65xx and IP Telephony “Using LMS we have a better control of our network. We have increased our productivity by delegating some recurring tasks. I can’t imagine today managing our network without LMS Network Administrator. “LMS is a very rich product, with very powerful features. After the initial configuration and customization effort, the on-going maintenance work of the LMS platform is minimal.” NM Systems Administrator

19. Case Study Global Retailer CHALLENGES RESULTS Consolidate tools, and manage the global network Improve visibility of network assets, and control operational efficiencies Capability to isolate and troubleshoot performance problems quickly Standardizing functionality on all three Network Operation Centers and using a common set of management processes will improve network availability and network management staff’s efficiency, lowering overall Operating Expenditures (OPEX). Enforcing auto configure on all network devices will save at least 50% of device set-up time. Improvements in maintaining and monitoring network availability for webshop (where they have several thousands of customers/hour) will also result in significant cost savings Solution: CiscoWorks LMS Large global retailer, 298 stores in 36 countries,10,000+ Cisco networking devices “Standardizing on CiscoWorks as a global management platform for all sites and data centers reduces overall costs and provides visibility into our global networking assets…” —Network Administrator

20. Customer Feedback on LMS 4.0Early feedback from beta “The Navigation and ease of use is incredible. I really like the way everything just smoothly transitions from one screen to the next. I like how the menu's at the top are setup so it is easy to navigate from one place to the next without having to go back to one dashboard screen.” Network Engineer Large Healthcare Customer “– this release is big, best, brilliant and will be warm welcomed by all our clients (it’s even difficult for me to pin-point errors because I just love it). I like reporting part more than any other thing – it only needs one or two touches from my point of view and that I have shared with you” Cisco Partner “ The getting started workflow significantly saved us time in setup and getting immediate value out of LMS 4.0 and is a big improvement over previous versions. Out-of-the-box monitoring of Cisco and non-Cisco devices puts LMS on par with other SNMP-based products we are using.” Network Administrator Large Manufacturing Customer
