Using Cisco Network Planning Solution for Capacity Planning and Optimization
Overview The highly complex - and individualized - set of interactions between applications and the network present a daunting management challenge. Cisco Systems extends network management beyond faults and delay metrics to determine whether network resources adequately enable optimal performance of applications and network services. This paper discusses the challenges and workflow details for capacity planning analysis with Cisco NPS (Network Planning Solution). It shows how Cisco NPS evaluates the current network and estimates when application and service demands will exceed its capacity. It explains how Cisco NPS identifies traffic trends in the current network, forecasts what traffic levels will be in the future, assesses whether the existing network capacity is sufficient to handle the projected load, and automatically redesigns the network to support future traffic demands.
